Exercise and breathing training for recent stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if adding breathing exercises to physical therapy helps people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. It focuses on walking and lung strength to improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke 3 to 6 months ago.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can walk at least 10 meters, with or without help or a walker.
- You do not have a chronic lung disease.
- You do not have a history of another neurological condition that limited your function before the stroke.
- You have no severe memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to follow the program.

This study tests if breathing muscle training can help improve breathing, balance, walking ability, and quality of life in people who had a stroke in the past 1 to 12 months. It is designed for those who can walk at least 10 meters and do not have severe facial weakness or cognitive problems.
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise device can help people recovering from stroke. You may benefit if you had a stroke up to 12 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
This study tests whether simple breathing exercises can help strengthen the muscles used for breathing after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you are an adult stroke survivor who can follow instructions and does not have other lung or muscle problems.
This study looks at how your breathing and trunk muscles work during special breathing exercises on a stable surface and an unstable one. It may help understand how to improve breathing and balance after a stroke.
This study compares two gentle therapy techniques—special breathing exercises and a hands-on release at the base of the skull—to see which helps stroke survivors with one-sided weakness regain movement and breathing. It may be a good fit if you're still recovering from a first stroke months ago and don't have major heart or lung problems.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program (via video or app) to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some physical weakness. It aims to improve strength and movement without needing to travel to a clinic.
