Training with a breathing device measured in healthy adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures how the diaphragm (main breathing muscle) works while you do breathing training using a special breathing device (IMT). It’s done in healthy adults to better understand how the training affects breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be generally healthy (not in a study group for an illness)
- Must be able to participate if you are NOT on blood thinners (anticoagulation)
- Must have an esophagus (food pipe) finding or abnormality they can assess (so not “without esophageal lesions”)
- Must have an airway (throat/lung passages) finding or abnormality they can assess (so not “without airway lesions”)
- Must have breathing test results that show changes they can measure (spirometry alterations)

This study tests whether special exercises to strengthen your breathing muscles can improve how well your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) works in people with moderate COPD. The goal is to help you breathe more easily and improve your lung function.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle training program can help older adults improve their breathing strength and overall health. It is designed for people aged 65 and older who are generally healthy and able to go about their daily activities independently.
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 special breathing exercises can help people with inflammatory myopathy. You would learn and practice breathing techniques using a device that strengthens your breathing muscles.
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise can improve health in healthy adults, people with obesity, or those with type 2 diabetes. You'll do an inspiratory muscle workout to see if it boosts your well-being.
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.
