Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
