Breathing training after lung transplant at Mayo Clinic
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether inspiratory muscle training (exercises to strengthen the breathing muscles) improves recovery and other health outcomes after a single- or double-lung transplant. It may help see if adding breathing exercises makes day-to-day function better and supports clinical recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You survive the transplant surgery (the intra-operative period)

This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
This study looks at whether breathing exercises combined with exercise training can improve how much and how well you can breathe during activity in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It may help by improving breathing efficiency and exercise tolerance, but you must be stable and healthy enough to safely exercise.
This study tests two types of breathing muscle training exercises in people who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type helps you breathe better and improves your daily living.
This study tests if a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) can strengthen your breathing muscles while you wait for a lung transplant. You'd do the training alongside your regular pulmonary rehab sessions.
This study looks at how your lungs respond to exercise after a double lung transplant. It aims to understand normal recovery patterns and may help improve care for other transplant recipients.
This trial tests if simple breathing exercises can reduce pain and improve recovery after an organ transplant. If you are between 18 and 65, had your first transplant, and are willing to try gentle breathing techniques, you may be able to join.
