Taping for breathing and sleep in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether kinesio taping improves breathing and sleep quality in people who are overweight or have class 1 or 2 obesity. You will wear a special tape on your body to see if it helps you breathe better and sleep well.

This study looks at how your body shape, measured by the body roundness index, affects your breathing and exercise ability. It may help doctors understand how obesity impacts daily activities and fitness.
This study checks how often people with obesity and sleep apnea, who use a CPAP machine, have a breathing problem during sleep called nocturnal hypoventilation (low breathing effort at night). It aims to see if these patients need extra breathing support beyond CPAP.
This study tests an investigational medication (IBI362) to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people with obesity. You might qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and a BMI of 28 or higher, whether or not you currently use a CPAP machine.
This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
This trial tests whether kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) combined with swallowing exercises can help people who have had a stroke and have trouble swallowing. It may improve muscle thickness and swallowing function.
This study tests whether adding kinesio taping to a special exercise program (Schroth therapy) helps reduce pain and improve posture in young adults with mild scoliosis. It may offer a non-surgical option to manage symptoms.
