Breathing exercises with essential oils for diabetes and lung infection
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing exercises with essential oils can help people with type 2 diabetes recover from a lung infection. It may improve your breathing and overall recovery while you are in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether special breathing exercises that alternate between low and high oxygen levels can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better. Researchers want to see if short or longer courses of this training improve blood sugar control and overall health.
This study tests two breathing techniques—Buteyko breathing and incentive spirometry—to see which better improves oxygen levels, breathing difficulty, exercise tolerance, and mucus clearance in people with pneumonia caused by air pollution.
This trial tests an emergency breathing-related approach for adults with a sudden, community-acquired respiratory infection. It may help doctors quickly sort out what’s going on and guide early care.
This trial tests a set of breathing exercises that might help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) breathe more easily and feel better. You would do the exercises at home, and the study will see if they improve your breathing and quality of life.
This study looks at how your breath changes throughout the day in people with and without diabetes. Researchers want to find patterns in breath chemicals that could help understand diabetes better.
