Improving breathing with muscle strengthening
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a program to help people with a breathing pattern disorder (dysfunctional breathing) improve how their muscles work to make breathing easier. It may be a good fit if you have had trouble breathing for at least 6 months and are not currently receiving treatment for this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can stand and walk on your own.
- You have had trouble breathing (like feeling short of breath or having difficulty breathing) for at least 6 months.
- You have been diagnosed with breathing pattern disorder (also called dysfunctional breathing).
- If you have other lung conditions like asthma, your main breathing problem should not be caused by that condition.
- You are not currently receiving treatment for your breathing pattern disorder, and you have not had a lung infection or an asthma flare-up in the last 4 weeks.

This study looks at how breathing problems that are not caused by a disease might affect physical fitness. If you are a healthy adult who often feels short of breath or sighs a lot, participating could help you understand your breathing and overall fitness better.
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises (called inspiratory muscle training) can improve breathing and daily function in people with heart failure. It may help you feel better and do more in your everyday life.
This study evaluates how physiotherapy can help adults with unexplained breathlessness or breathing pattern problems. Breathing pattern disorder happens when your breathing becomes inefficient or irregular without an obvious lung or heart disease—and physio may help retrain how you breathe.
This trial tests a digital program that strengthens the muscles used for breathing in people with moderate to severe COPD. It may help improve breathing and daily function.
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 study tests a digital program that combines breathing and physical activity training for people with asthma who get short of breath easily. The goal is to help you feel less breathless and be more active in daily life.
