Breathing exercises for long COVID recovery
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
