Breathing exercises for teens with asthma and anemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing technique called the Papworth method to see if it helps teens with both asthma and low iron (anemia) breathe better. It might reduce asthma symptoms and improve daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 18 years old.

This study looks at whether breathing exercises can help improve brain health and mental well-being in teens with depression or anxiety. It is designed for adolescents who are already receiving care at a Mayo Clinic psychiatry clinic.
This trial tests whether combining alternate nostril breathing with an incentive spirometer improves lung function in people with asthma. It may help you breathe better if your asthma is mild to moderate and stable.
This trial tests a structured exercise programme designed to help children and young people with asthma improve their fitness and manage their condition better. Participation involves joining exercise sessions and providing feedback through focus groups.
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.
This study compares three different exercise methods to see which one best strengthens your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and improves your overall breathing. If you are a healthy young adult, you might help find better ways to improve breathing fitness.
