Yoga breathing plus lung MRI measurements for post-COVID symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses breathing exercises from yoga and MRI (a scan of the body) measurements to see how well yoga breathing can improve ongoing breathing symptoms after COVID-19. It also compares results in a few other specific groups and healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to under 50 years old.
- Your breathing symptoms have lasted at least 3 months after a COVID-19 infection (or you fit one of the other study group definitions).
- You need a certain level of breathlessness based on an mMRC score (usually mMRC 1 or higher).
- You should not have major lung conditions like obstructive or restrictive lung disease, and your diaphragm should not be weak on one side.
- You must be able to do MRI safely and comfortably, including avoiding metal implants and not being pregnant.
- You can understand German well enough to join yoga sessions and answer questionnaires.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how the lungs’ breathing (airflow) and blood flow may be off in people with long-COVID symptoms like tiredness, shortness of breath, or trouble exercising. It may help researchers understand what’s driving symptoms and what kinds of abnormalities could be targeted.
This study tests whether a spa treatment program can help people with long COVID symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, and brain fog. If you have had COVID-19 symptoms for more than 12 weeks and have two or more lingering issues, this may offer a drug-free way to feel better.
This trial tests a program to help people with lingering COVID-19 symptoms who are not very active. It aims to improve their health and daily life.
This trial studies whether a yoga program (compared with health education) can reduce persistent tiredness after COVID-19. It may help if your fatigue has lasted at least 12 weeks and you think it started with COVID.
This study tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (an incentive spirometer) can help relieve long COVID respiratory symptoms like shortness of breath and coughing. It aims to see if regular lung exercises improve breathing and daily life.
This study looks at people with lingering post-COVID symptoms, especially breathing and lung-related findings, using home monitoring and medical tests. It may help researchers understand what’s driving ongoing symptoms and identify patterns that could guide better care.
