Breathing training plus exercise to improve breathing capacity
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of bronchiectasis not caused by cystic fibrosis
- You are currently stable—no recent worsening flare and no change in breathing medicines in the last 3 weeks
- You can participate safely in exercise (no major other illnesses or problems with your nerves or bones that limit exercise)
- Your heart condition is not advanced heart failure
- You are not currently taking antibiotics, and you have not had a recent flare in the last 3 weeks
- You have not been in a pulmonary rehabilitation program in the last 6 months
