Physiotherapy assessment for unexplained breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study evaluates how physiotherapy can help adults with unexplained breathlessness or breathing pattern problems. Breathing pattern disorder happens when your breathing becomes inefficient or irregular without an obvious lung or heart disease—and physio may help retrain how you breathe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your doctor referred you for unexplained breathlessness or suspected breathing pattern disorder
- You do not have serious lung conditions like COPD, ILD, bronchiectasis, or cystic fibrosis
- You do not have structural heart disease or pregnancy
- You can attend up to four outpatient physiotherapy sessions
- You are not currently in pulmonary or cardiac rehabilitation, or receiving specialist throat/speech therapy

This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
This study tests a program to help people with a breathing pattern disorder (dysfunctional breathing) improve how their muscles work to make breathing easier. It may be a good fit if you have had trouble breathing for at least 6 months and are not currently receiving treatment for this condition.
This project tests whether a tool called "Breathlessness Diagnostics in a Box" helps doctors find the cause of breathlessness more quickly. If you have unexplained or ongoing trouble breathing, this study may help improve your care.
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 digital program that combines breathing techniques and physical activity advice to help adults with moderate to severe asthma who feel breathless during daily life. It aims to reduce breathlessness and improve activity levels.
This trial tests an internet-based self-guided program to help adults with chronic breathlessness. It is designed for people who still feel short of breath despite treatment for conditions like COPD, lung disease, or cancer.
