Diaphragm Release Therapy for Fibromyalgia in Women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hands-on technique that relaxes your diaphragm (the muscle below your lungs that helps you breathe) can improve exercise ability and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia. The goal is to see if this simple therapy helps reduce fatigue and pain.
