Breathing exercise training for diabetes with muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether training with a simple breathing device (incentive spirometer) can help people with type 2 diabetes who also have muscle weakness. The goal is to see if it improves strength, breathing, and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes (diagnosed by a doctor).
- You are between 20 and 90 years old and can speak Mandarin or Taiwanese.
- You have some muscle weakness or loss (sarcopenia) based on a quick screening questionnaire.
- You are not bedridden or severely disabled.
- You do not have serious lung disease, severe heart disease, or memory problems that make communication difficult.

This study looks at whether people with type 2 diabetes lose strength in their breathing muscles. It will measure muscle function and walking ability to understand how diabetes affects the muscles used for breathing.
This trial is studying respiratory sarcopenia—weakness of the breathing muscles—in older adults. It involves simple breathing tests to measure your lung strength.
This study tests whether a special exercise program can help middle-aged and older adults who have both type 2 diabetes and muscle loss. It aims to improve muscle strength, balance, and overall health.
This trial will look at how breathing (respiratory) muscles weaken as people age, a condition called sarcopenia. It aims to better understand age-related muscle loss in a key area that affects daily life, helping identify individuals who might need extra support or exercise programs.
This trial tests whether a specific strength-training program (called progressive resistance training) can help older adults with both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve muscle strength and overall function.
This study looks at whether muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects shortness of breath in people with moderate to severe asthma. You may benefit if your asthma is poorly controlled and you can do an exercise test.
