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.

This trial tests whether doing balloon-blowing exercises in a specific lying position can improve lung function in people with mild asthma. It may help you breathe easier.
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 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 trial tests whether stepping up to either a higher dose of inhaled steroid/long-acting bronchodilator or a special fine-particle triple therapy (which includes an extra medication) can improve small-airway health in people whose asthma is still not well controlled on a medium-dose combination.
This trial tests if adding a simple breathing exercise (alternate nostril breathing) to your regular asthma medicines can help reduce shortness of breath and improve your breathing control. It is for adults with mild to moderate asthma.
This study compares two breathing exercise devices—a breather device and an incentive spirometer—to see which helps people with COPD improve their breathing and quality of life.
