This trial tests whether combining breathing exercises with manual therapy can improve symptoms for people with GERD. It may help if you are currently taking acid-reducing medication.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for people with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), a type of acid reflux that doesn't damage the esophagus lining.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help reduce symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — a condition where stomach acid backs up into the throat. It is for adults who have been diagnosed with reflux esophagitis (inflammation of the food pipe) and are willing to attend breathing training sessions.
This study tests whether special diaphragm breathing exercises (using the muscle below your lungs that controls breathing) can reduce acid reflux symptoms. You'll learn and practice these exercises over time to see if they help your GERD without needing more medication.
This study tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles with a special device can improve your breathing and daily function. It is for people with chronic heart failure who are stable on their current medications and have not been hospitalized recently.
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program for people with heart failure. It aims to see if strengthening your breathing muscles can help you feel better and be more active.
