Breathing therapy for ME/CFS fatigue and pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment that gently changes the oxygen levels you breathe can help reduce fatigue, pain, and improve quality of life for women with ME/CFS. It aims to improve how your cells produce energy and how your nervous system works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber can reduce fatigue and improve symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The therapy may help your body recover better by increasing oxygen supply to affected tissues.
This study tests whether breathing lower-oxygen air in short breaks changes how the brain and body respond. It is only for medically stable, healthy adults with specific safety screening.
This trial studies how people with ME/CFS respond to an exercise test. It may help researchers understand what kind of exercise response is typical and how it relates to symptoms.
This trial tests a new treatment for ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) that includes symptoms like dizziness when standing. It uses a smartphone app to track your progress and aims to see if the treatment can improve your daily life.
This study tests whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or doing brief “micro breaks” can improve symptoms in people with CFS/ME. It checks safety and whether you can follow the online program over the study period.
This study tests whether breathing controlled low-oxygen air (through a disposable face mask) can improve brain function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You’d be randomly assigned to the real treatment or a sham (placebo-like) control, and you’d need multiple lab visits.
