Weight loss medication effects on breathing in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medication that helps with weight loss can also improve your breathing and lung function. It uses computer models to predict how your respiratory muscles respond, which may help you breathe easier as you lose weight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your body shape, measured by the body roundness index, affects your breathing and exercise ability. It may help doctors understand how obesity impacts daily activities and fitness.
This study looks at how obesity affects breathing and physical function. It tests whether a special exercise program can improve lung and muscle strength in people with obesity who have a restrictive breathing pattern.
This study tests whether a weight reduction program can improve health outcomes for people who have both COPD and obesity. By helping with weight loss, the hope is to ease breathing symptoms and improve daily function.
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 if training your breathing muscles can improve respiratory function in people with obesity. It aims to help those with a BMI of 30 or higher.
This study compares how body weight (higher or lower body fat) affects lung function, breathing during exercise, and exercise capacity in adults ages 65–75. You may be asked to do lung and exercise testing, but only if you meet health and activity restrictions.
