Breathing exercises with or without inspiratory training for COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to regular breathing exercises helps people with moderate to severe COPD breathe better. It is for adults between 35 and 50 who are otherwise healthy enough to exercise.

This trial tests a portable “positive pressure” breathing device in people with severe COPD to see how well it works and whether it’s safe. It may help if you have trouble breathing and meet the device and health requirements.
This trial compares different types of breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD. It aims to find which training is most helpful for improving breathing and daily life.
This trial tests a digital breathing training program for people with moderate to severe COPD. It aims to help strengthen your breathing muscles using a high-intensity device, which may improve your ability to breathe and feel better day to day.
This trial tests a pulmonary rehabilitation (lung exercise) program for people with COPD. It aims to see how daily activities and lung function can improve with a structured at-home exercise plan.
This study tests whether special exercises to strengthen your breathing muscles can improve how well your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) works in people with moderate COPD. The goal is to help you breathe more easily and improve your lung function.
