Abstract: Pneumoconiosis,a serious occupational disease,is a series of lung diseases caused by inhalation of mineral dust. Its main pathological features include chronic lung inflammation and progressive pulmonary fibrosis,and it has affected tens of millions of workers in related occupations worldwide. Currently,despite the deepening understanding of pneumoconiosis,clinical treatments for pneumoconiosis are still very limited. Most drug treatments only reduce lung damage and symptoms,and there is currently no cure. Pulmonary rehabilitation,as a comprehensive non-pharmacologic intervention,has shown promising prospects in improving clinical symptoms and quality of life in patients with respiratory diseases. Therefore,exploring new management models from the perspective of lung rehabilitation is crucial for improving the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients with pneumoconiosis. To this end,this article reviews the rehabilitation protocols and research progress of pulmonary rehabilitation programs in pneumoconiosis at home and abroad,with the expectation that it will provide reference and new ideas for rehabilitation workers to develop personalized rehabilitation program options for their patients.

Key words: Pneumoconiosis, Pulmonary rehabilitation, Rehabilitation management, Clinical application
