Breathing Training for Stress and Sleep in Midlife Women
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a simple breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle strength training) to see if it can help reduce stress and improve sleep for midlife women who have hot flashes. If you're between 45-60, have hot flashes, and don't smoke, you may be able to join.

This trial tests if a mindfulness-based stress reduction program can reduce hot flashes and improve sleep quality in women going through menopause.
This study tests whether strength training or high-intensity aerobic exercise can reduce hot flashes in postmenopausal women. You would exercise 3 times a week for 15 weeks to see if it helps your symptoms.
This study tests if doing daily breathing exercises with a device can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. It's for people with higher-than-normal blood pressure who are otherwise healthy.
This study compares a breathing-based exercise program with regular aerobic exercise to help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in postmenopausal women. It’s mainly for people with mildly elevated resting blood pressure who are not already doing very intense workouts.
This study tests whether an inspiratory (breathing-in) muscle training program using the CardioBreath app can improve heart blood-vessel stiffness and “stress/autonomic” signaling. It targets people with a specific hormone pattern and activity level, while avoiding several common health conditions that could affect safety or results.
This study tests whether a breathing device training program can improve breathing and blood pressure. It may help people who have higher blood pressure and may feel out of breath, especially those who have weight-related breathing strain.
