This study tests a surgical procedure to help people with a paralyzed diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) that has lasted at least a year. The surgery aims to improve breathing and reduce shortness of breath.
This trial studies a surgical technique to improve breathing and voice in people whose both vocal cords do not move. It’s meant for cases that have not improved on their own for at least 6 months, and it may help restore better movement and function.
This trial is studying whether surgery, instead of using a breathing machine, works better for people with one-sided diaphragm paralysis. It aims to improve breathing comfort and function in the right patients.
This study looks at how different pain relief methods after major abdominal surgery affect the diaphragm, a muscle that helps you breathe. It may help doctors choose the best way to manage pain while protecting your breathing.
This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses on the skin to stimulate the nerve that controls your diaphragm (the main muscle for breathing). The goal is to help people who have had a stroke and are on a breathing machine to breathe on their own sooner.
This study looks at how often the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) weakens after lung surgery done without a breathing tube. It aims to help doctors understand recovery and prevent future breathing problems.
