Can a hand technique help breathing in older women with diabetes?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 looks at whether adults with type 2 diabetes have weaker breathing muscles (a condition called respiratory muscle sarcopenia). They will measure your breathing and other muscles to see how diabetes affects them.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise device can make your breathing muscles stronger, which might improve blood sugar control and overall health for people with type 1 diabetes. You would use the device at home and visit the study team for checkups.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises that alternate between low and high oxygen levels can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better. Researchers want to see if short or longer courses of this training improve blood sugar control and overall health.
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 looks at how tired breathing muscles and simple warm-ups affect breathing, hand strength, and walking in older adults who are not very active. It may help find better ways to improve daily function.
