Digital breathing device after weight-loss surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a digital breathing exercise device (incentive spirometer) helps people recover better after weight-loss surgery. You'll use the device before and after your operation to help keep your lungs healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery.
- You can follow instructions to use a simple breathing exercise device before and after surgery.
- You do not have any medical reason that would make using a breathing device unsafe (like a collapsed lung or recent chest injury).
- You are able to take deep breaths and your lung capacity is not severely limited.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two different ways to keep your lungs inflated with air during bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. Researchers want to see which method helps you breathe better and recover faster after your procedure.
This trial tests whether a personalized breathing setting during surgery can lower the risk of lung complications after weight-loss surgery. If you have a high risk of lung issues, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether electrical nerve stimulation (a non-invasive, pain-relieving technique) can help improve breathing problems that sometimes occur after weight-loss surgery. The study measures how well your diaphragm—the muscle that helps you breathe—works after the procedure.
This study compares two types of sleep apnea devices (CPAP and APAP) to see which works better for people with obesity who are waiting for bariatric surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage sleep apnea before and after the procedure.
This trial tests a new breathing exercise device designed to help your lungs recover after heart surgery. It may make your breathing easier and speed up your return to daily activities.
This study tests whether a special reminder device helps people do their breathing exercises more often after surgery. You will use a breathing exercise tool (incentive spirometer) with or without a reminder that beeps or flashes to prompt you to use it.
