Breathing exercises for balance and recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a breathing exercise program to improve breathing, balance, and overall quality of life in stroke survivors. It may help you recover better by strengthening your breathing muscles and improving your balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise device can help people recovering from stroke. You may benefit if you had a stroke up to 12 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
This study tests how breathing and trunk muscle exercises work when done on different surfaces (stable vs. unstable) in people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see if these exercises can help improve breathing and core strength during recovery.
This study tests whether breathing exercises can help strengthen the muscles you use to breathe after a stroke. If you've recently had a stroke, these exercises may help improve your breathing and recovery.
This study tests a program combining physical exercises with breathing muscle training for people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. The goal is to see if this combination improves recovery and daily function.
This study compares two gentle therapy techniques—special breathing exercises and a hands-on release at the base of the skull—to see which helps stroke survivors with one-sided weakness regain movement and breathing. It may be a good fit if you're still recovering from a first stroke months ago and don't have major heart or lung problems.
This study tests whether practicing specific breathing exercises can improve your ability to control your trunk (core) and keep your balance, especially when sitting or standing. It is designed for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and are able to walk short distances.
