Breathing muscle training for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help teenagers with cerebral palsy breathe and cough more easily. It may improve their overall breathing health and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new way of strengthening muscles in children with cerebral palsy by targeting specific muscles during exercise. It aims to improve movement and function.
This trial tests whether a structured set of breathing exercises can improve lung function in adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy. Participants will learn and practice these exercises, which may help with breathing and overall health.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help children with cerebral palsy. The exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles used for breathing and may improve their overall health.
This study tests two types of exercises: one that uses guided arm and shoulder movements (called PNF) and another that focuses on deep breathing (chest expansion). The goal is to see if these exercises can help children with cerebral palsy move their arms better and breathe more easily.
This study looks at how the muscles used for breathing work on each side of the body in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help doctors understand breathing better and guide future treatments.
This study tests whether a special breathing muscle training can help people with ALS maintain lung function. It may benefit patients diagnosed recently with spinal ALS and good breathing capacity.
