Breathing Muscle Training After Lung Transplant
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests two types of breathing muscle training exercises in people who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type helps you breathe better and improves your daily living.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have received a lung transplant (single or double).
- You are awake and able to follow instructions (Glasgow Coma Scale above 13).
- Your heart rate and blood pressure are stable, and you are not short of breath at rest (even if you need extra oxygen).
- You do not have a tracheostomy, are not coughing up blood, and have no active air leaks from your lungs.
- You do not need a breathing machine or special high-flow oxygen mask.

This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
This trial studies whether inspiratory muscle training (exercises to strengthen the breathing muscles) improves recovery and other health outcomes after a single- or double-lung transplant. It may help see if adding breathing exercises makes day-to-day function better and supports clinical recovery.
This study tests if a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) can strengthen your breathing muscles while you wait for a lung transplant. You'd do the training alongside your regular pulmonary rehab sessions.
This trial tests whether a special breathing and muscle-strengthening exercise program can help people waiting for a heart transplant. It is designed to improve your respiratory strength and overall conditioning before surgery.
This study looks at how the breathing muscles work in people with very advanced COPD who are waiting for a lung transplant. It aims to understand the problems these muscles face and how that affects patients.
This trial tests different breathing exercises to help people recover after a stem cell transplant. It looks at whether these exercises can improve strength and recovery.
