SamsunAges 18–80 - NCT07177976Recruiting
Comparing two breathing exercises for COPD
This study compares two breathing techniques—Pilates breathing and pursed lip breathing—to see which one improves chest expansion and peak expiratory flow rate (how fast you can blow air out) in people with mild COPD.

Core exercises with different breathing in type 2 diabetes
This study compares two types of breathing and core strengthening exercises to see which helps people with type 2 diabetes more. You would do either core exercises with diaphragmatic breathing or core exercises with pilates breathing.
IslamabadAges 30–55 - NCT07529834Recruiting
Breathing and Cycling for High Blood Pressure
This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques (Pilates and diaphragmatic breathing) with moderate cycling exercise can help lower blood pressure and improve lung function in people with high blood pressure. You'll practice these techniques over several weeks to see if they reduce your blood pressure more effectively than exercise alone.
IslamabadAges 20–55 - NCT07529821Recruiting
Breathing and Walking Exercise for Early High Blood Pressure
This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques with treadmill walking can help lower blood pressure and improve breathing function in people with slightly elevated blood pressure. If you have early-stage high blood pressure, this trial might help you avoid needing medication.
IslamabadAges 20–55 - NCT07529847Recruiting
Breathing Techniques to Help Asthma Control
This study compares two special breathing techniques—alternating which nostril you breathe through and a method called Buteyko breathing—to see which helps asthma patients breathe easier and improve lung function. You'll practice these techniques and we'll measure how well they work for you.
IslamabadAges 18–45 - NCT07531771Recruiting
Breathing Exercises for Early-Stage COPD
This study tests whether two types of breathing exercises—pursed lip breathing (slowing your breath) and alternate nostril breathing—can improve lung function and quality of life in people with mild COPD. You'll learn and practice these techniques to see if they help you breathe better.
IslamabadAges 40–65 - NCT07543588Recruiting
Physiotherapy assessment for unexplained breathing problems
This study evaluates how physiotherapy can help adults with unexplained breathlessness or breathing pattern problems. Breathing pattern disorder happens when your breathing becomes inefficient or irregular without an obvious lung or heart disease—and physio may help retrain how you breathe.
London, LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07404384Enrolling by invitation
Slow breathing and resistance exercise for fibromyalgia
This study tests whether combining slow breathing exercises with light weightlifting (biceps curls) can help women with fibromyalgia feel better. It focuses on improving symptoms through a simple home-based routine.
Málaga, MálagaAges 18 years+ - NCT06103955Recruiting
Improving breathing with muscle strengthening
This study tests a program to help people with a breathing pattern disorder (dysfunctional breathing) improve how their muscles work to make breathing easier. It may be a good fit if you have had trouble breathing for at least 6 months and are not currently receiving treatment for this condition.
Manchester, Greater ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT07484490Recruiting
Breathing exercises with and without balloon blowing for TB in children
This trial tests whether adding a fun balloon-blowing exercise to a standard breathing technique helps children with tuberculosis clear mucus from their lungs more easily. It compares two groups: one using the breathing technique alone, and one using it together with balloon blowing.

Breathing and tongue exercises for children's mouth bacteria
This trial tests if simple breathing and tongue exercises can help improve the bacteria in children's mouths. It includes children ages 7-12 who breathe through their mouth or nose.
Istanbul, BahcelievlerAges 7–12 - NCT07019636Recruiting
Direct extubation vs. extubation after a breathing trial
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) in patients who are ready to breathe on their own: taking the tube out right away, or doing a trial of breathing without the machine first. It is for people who are at low risk of needing the tube put back in.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT06642376Recruiting
Breathing exercise for ICU nurses: stress and fatigue
This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise can help reduce fatigue and stress in intensive care nurses. If you work in an ICU and are interested in trying a short, guided breathing technique, this could be a low-effort way to feel better.
KahramanmaraşAges 18 years+ - NCT07627009Recruiting
Arm Exercises With and Without Deep Breathing After Heart Surgery
This study tests whether doing arm exercises combined with deep breathing helps recovery after open-heart surgery. Researchers want to see if breathing exercises during movement improves lung function and overall healing in patients recovering in the ICU.
İzmit, KocaeliAges 18 years+ - NCT07717801Recruiting
Breathing retraining for combat athletes

- How do I know if I qualify for a breathing trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a breathing trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
