If you are between 18 and 80, have completed your lung cancer treatment, and are now in remission, this program may improve your breathing and strength.
This study tests a breathing exercise program to help people with burn injuries on the face and chest recover their breathing strength. If you have had a moderate to severe burn, this training may help you breathe better.
This trial tests if a program of physical exercise and breathing exercises before bariatric surgery helps patients recover better. It is for people having surgery at the Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital in Vigo.
