Recruiting studies
- NCT07761468Enrolling by invitation
Standardized medication dosing for ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing a standardized way to adjust a medication used to help people on ventilators in the ICU. It aims to see if a more consistent dosing approach can help patients breathe better and possibly come off the ventilator sooner.

NMES therapy to help prevent ICU muscle weakness
This trial tests whether a device that delivers small electrical pulses to muscles can help prevent breathing and muscle weakness in very sick ICU patients. It also looks at changes in blood markers that may relate to muscle weakness and recovery.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT06201403Recruiting
COPD: Breathing Muscle Strength and Flexibility Study
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT07289958Recruiting
Breathing muscle training after weight loss surgery
This study tests whether breathing exercises can help people recovering from weight loss (bariatric) surgery. It may improve your breathing and recovery after the procedure.
Quito, PichinchaAges 18–60 - NCT07051954Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for long COVID recovery
This study tests a special breathing and muscle training program to help people with long COVID feel better and move more easily. The training is designed to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe and to improve your daily function.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07293429Recruiting
Posture and breathing training for COPD with forward head posture
This study tests a program that combines posture correction and breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD who also have a forward head posture. It aims to improve breathing and reduce shortness of breath.
LahoreAges 40–60 - NCT07406295Recruiting
Breathing exercises to improve brain and immune health
This trial tests whether a daily breathing exercise device can improve blood flow to the brain and immune function in people with obesity. It may help reduce health risks linked to excess weight.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–45 - NCT07753421Enrolling by invitation
Health and function in older adults
This study looks at how memory, walking speed, and breathing muscle strength are related in older adults. It aims to understand these factors better to help maintain independence and quality of life.
IstanbulAges 60 years+ - NCT04658498Recruiting
Respiratory muscle training to help patients come off the ventilator
This trial studies whether exercises for breathing muscles can help people who are having a hard time coming off a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help you breathe with less ventilator support once your body is stable enough.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07717801Recruiting
Breathing retraining for combat athletes
This study tests if a special breathing retraining program helps combat athletes who have trouble breathing properly during sport. It may improve how well you move and perform.
TainanAges 18–50 - NCT07183696Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for kidney dialysis patients
This study tests if breathing exercises can improve quality of life for people on kidney dialysis. You would do special breathing training using a device called a Breath Booster to help strengthen your breathing muscles.
GizaAges 50–60 - NCT05745298Recruiting
Electrical and breathing therapy to improve unassisted cough after spinal injury
This study tests whether pairing electrical stimulation with breathing muscle training can help you cough without needing assistance. It’s for people recovering from a spinal cord injury within the last year, and who can safely feel and respond to the electrical stimulation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07363902Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation study for breathing support
This study tests a new device that uses mild electrical pulses to strengthen the muscles used for breathing in people who are on a ventilator. It aims to help them recover faster.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06745869Recruiting
Aerobic and breathing exercises for choir singers
This trial tests whether combining aerobic exercise with special breathing exercises (diaphragmatic) improves singing and breath control in choir members. If you're a chorist with a sedentary lifestyle, you may benefit from this study.
IstanbulAges 25–60 - NCT06935825Recruiting
Breathing muscles in severe lung disease
This study looks at how the breathing muscles work in people with very advanced COPD who are waiting for a lung transplant. It aims to understand the problems these muscles face and how that affects patients.
AmsterdamAges Any age - NCT06259877Recruiting
Breathing, balance, and function after a stroke
This study tests how breathing muscle strength, balance, and trunk control relate to daily function after a stroke. It aims to help you recover better.
KirikkaleAges 18 years+ - NCT06554132Recruiting
Breathing Muscle and Exercise Capacity in Scleroderma
This study looks at how scleroderma affects breathing muscles and exercise ability. You'll do some simple breathing tests and ride a stationary bike to see how your body responds.
ElâzığAges 18–65 - NCT06598982Recruiting
Muscle Weakness in the Breathing Muscles in Scleroderma
This study looks at whether people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) have weakness in the muscles they use to breathe. It aims to find out if measuring these muscles can help detect early breathing problems.
Konya, SelcukluAges 18–75 - NCT06772922Recruiting
Pulmonary and heart rehab program testing combined exercise
This trial studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
Campinas, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06869447Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory muscles?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 68 recruiting respiratory muscles studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a respiratory muscles 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 respiratory muscles 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.
