Breathing technique for lung function in women with rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle hands-on breathing technique that may help improve lung function in women with rheumatoid arthritis. It might be a non-drug way to support your breathing and quality of life.

This study is testing a gentle hands-on technique for the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) to see if it can improve breathing in older women with type 2 diabetes. It may help if you have mild breathing problems and meet the health criteria listed.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (called inspiratory muscle training) can improve your stamina and make it easier to move around if you have knee arthritis. You would practice this exercise along with your usual care, and researchers will check if it helps your heart, lungs, and walking ability.
