Breathing exercises with a spirometer for asthma patients
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining alternate nostril breathing with an incentive spirometer improves lung function in people with asthma. It may help you breathe better if your asthma is mild to moderate and stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have mild to moderate asthma with a predicted FEV1 between 60-80%
- Your asthma is stable with no recent flare-ups or respiratory infections
- You are able to do breathing exercises and use a spirometer
- You are not pregnant, not using oral steroids or beta blockers, and have no severe asthma or other lung conditions

This study looks at how asthma affects air flow and blood flow in your lungs. You may join if you use daily asthma control medicine and your breathing test shows room for improvement even after using a rescue inhaler.
This study tests a program that combines exercise and other support to help people with difficult-to-control asthma feel better and be more active. It aims to improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests if L-menthol can help reduce breathlessness in people with asthma. You'll take L-menthol and see if it improves your breathing during exercise.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This study compares two breathing techniques, box breathing and rhythmic breathing, to see which one works better for people with mild to moderate asthma. It aims to help improve breathing and reduce symptoms.
This study looks at how different breathing tests (spirometry and impulse oscillometry) and a simple shortness-of-breath scale relate to how well you respond to a quick-relief inhaler (bronchodilator). It aims to improve how we measure treatment effectiveness in people with asthma or COPD.
