Breathing exercises to improve brain and immune health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a daily breathing exercise device can improve blood flow to the brain and immune function in people with obesity. It may help reduce health risks linked to excess weight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher
- Your waist measurement is at least 88 cm (about 34.5 inches) for women or 102 cm (about 40 inches) for men
- Your weight has been stable (no more than 5% change) over the past 6 months

This study examines how obesity affects your breathing capacity and muscle strength, especially when your lungs show a restrictive pattern (difficulty expanding fully). Researchers will assess your body composition, physical function, and respiratory muscle endurance to better understand these connections.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle trainer can help people with obesity and low back pain. It involves a simple device to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may also support your lower back.
This study tests whether a breathing device training program can improve breathing and blood pressure. It may help people who have higher blood pressure and may feel out of breath, especially those who have weight-related breathing strain.
This trial tests a simple breathing exercise done for about 5–10 minutes each day for 8 weeks. It aims to see if this exercise can reduce your risk of dementia. If you are between 60 and 80 years old and have at least one risk factor for dementia, this study may be a fit for you.
This study tests if doing daily breathing exercises with a device can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. It's for people with higher-than-normal blood pressure who are otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether special breathing muscle exercises can improve thinking and memory in healthy young adults. Researchers will track how the training affects your brain performance over time.
