Breathing muscle training for blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if doing daily breathing exercises with a device can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. It's for people with higher-than-normal blood pressure who are otherwise healthy.

This study tests a simple breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle strength training) to see if it can help reduce stress and improve sleep for midlife women who have hot flashes. If you're between 45-60, have hot flashes, and don't smoke, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a breathing device training program can improve breathing and blood pressure. It may help people who have higher blood pressure and may feel out of breath, especially those who have weight-related breathing strain.
This trial tests whether a daily breathing exercise device can improve blood flow to the brain and immune function in people with obesity. It may help reduce health risks linked to excess weight.
This study tests whether training your breathing muscles can improve health in people with chronic kidney disease (stage 3–4). It may help how your body handles daily activity and circulation-related measurements, compared with usual care.
This trial tests a simple breathing exercise done for about 5–10 minutes each day for 8 weeks. It aims to see if this exercise can reduce your risk of dementia. If you are between 60 and 80 years old and have at least one risk factor for dementia, this study may be a fit for you.
This study compares a breathing-based exercise program with regular aerobic exercise to help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in postmenopausal women. It’s mainly for people with mildly elevated resting blood pressure who are not already doing very intense workouts.
