Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing 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.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 45 and 55 years old.
- You had heart bypass surgery (CABG) at least 3 months ago.

- Your weight and height give a BMI between 25 and 29.9.
- Your lung function tests (FEV1 and FVC) are below 80% of normal.
