Breathing muscle training for adults with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles (using a device) can improve health and breathing-related symptoms in adults with obesity. It’s meant for people who are otherwise medically stable and meet specific safety rules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 30 and 40
- Your weight has been fairly stable (no more than 5% change in the last 6 months)
- You do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure (very high readings like above 140/90, even if meds are used)
- You do not have diagnosed sleep apnea
- You have not had bariatric (weight-loss) surgery
- You do not use tobacco or nicotine products regularly within the last 6 months

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.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle trainer can help people with obesity and low back pain. It involves a simple device to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may also support your lower back.
This study examines how obesity affects your breathing capacity and muscle strength, especially when your lungs show a restrictive pattern (difficulty expanding fully). Researchers will assess your body composition, physical function, and respiratory muscle endurance to better understand these connections.
This study tests whether a breathing device training program can improve breathing and blood pressure. It may help people who have higher blood pressure and may feel out of breath, especially those who have weight-related breathing strain.
This trial tests if training your breathing muscles can improve respiratory function in people with obesity. It aims to help those with a BMI of 30 or higher.
This study tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles with a special device can improve your breathing and daily function. It is for people with chronic heart failure who are stable on their current medications and have not been hospitalized recently.
