Diaphragm and bladder control after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) relates to bladder control problems in people who have had a stroke. It may help design better rehab programs to improve bladder function after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how hemiplegia affects the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and your breathing strength. It aims to help guide rehabilitation after a stroke.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method to reduce urgent, frequent urination after a stroke. It may help improve bladder control and quality of life.
This study tests how breathing and trunk muscle exercises work when done on different surfaces (stable vs. unstable) in people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see if these exercises can help improve breathing and core strength during recovery.
This trial tests a breathing exercise program to improve breathing, balance, and overall quality of life in stroke survivors. It may help you recover better by strengthening your breathing muscles and improving your balance.
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 uses ultrasound to look at the muscles between your ribs that help you breathe. It aims to see how these muscles work after a stroke compared to healthy people, and how they relate to your recovery.
