Yoga breathing plus lung MRI measurements for post-COVID symptoms
Part of 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 trial tests whether a spa treatment (using water therapy and relaxation) can help people with long-term symptoms after COVID-19, like fatigue or shortness of breath. It is designed for people who were not hospitalized and whose symptoms have lasted for several months.
This trial tests a structured exercise program to help people with long covid feel better and improve their health. If you have long covid and are not very active, this study might help you regain strength and reduce symptoms.
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 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.
This study tests whether a structured breathing control technique can improve symptoms of long COVID. It may help by training how you breathe, but you must meet specific health and medication criteria to join.
