Therapy and breathing exercises for better lung function
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of hands-on physical therapy and breathing exercises can improve how well your lungs work if you have a restrictive lung disease (a condition that makes it harder for your lungs to expand fully). It aims to help you breathe easier and improve your quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one of these lung conditions: pneumonia (lung infection), pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs), or pneumothorax (collapsed lung).
- You do not have certain other health problems, like a hiatus hernia, severe acid reflux, a recent heart attack, osteoporosis, congestive heart failure, coughing up blood, or cancer.
- You are willing to try a combination of hands-on therapy and breathing exercises.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests two breathing exercises, inspiratory muscle training and positive expiratory pressure, for people in the ICU on a breathing machine. It aims to see if these exercises can improve breathing and recovery for patients with restrictive lung disease.
This trial tests whether gentle manual therapy on your chest and back can help improve breathing in people with restrictive lung disease, where the lungs have trouble expanding. It focuses on conditions like pulmonary fibrosis, scoliosis, or muscle weakness, and aims to see if this approach helps you breathe more easily.
This study looks at how obesity affects breathing and physical function. It tests whether a special exercise program can improve lung and muscle strength in people with obesity who have a restrictive breathing pattern.
This study compares two types of breathing exercises to help people with pulmonary fibrosis breathe easier and improve their daily function. It tests a hands-on diaphragm release technique versus a training device that strengthens your breathing muscles.
This trial studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
This study looks at whether breathing exercises combined with exercise training can improve how much and how well you can breathe during activity in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It may help by improving breathing efficiency and exercise tolerance, but you must be stable and healthy enough to safely exercise.
