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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a hands-on breathing technique to see if it can improve exercise capacity and sleep quality in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help you breathe better, move more easily, and sleep more soundly.
This study looks at whether people with type 2 diabetes lose strength in their breathing muscles. It will measure muscle function and walking ability to understand how diabetes affects the muscles used for breathing.
This study tests if manual diaphragm release can help improve breathing in women with rheumatoid arthritis. It may be an option if you have mild lung issues and want to try a non-drug therapy.
This study tests whether training with a simple breathing device (incentive spirometer) can help people with type 2 diabetes who also have muscle weakness. The goal is to see if it improves strength, breathing, and overall health.
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 whether a hands-on technique that relaxes your diaphragm (the muscle below your lungs that helps you breathe) can improve exercise ability and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia. The goal is to see if this simple therapy helps reduce fatigue and pain.
