Breathing exercises and virtual reality for body awareness
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses virtual reality and a short, guided breathing exercise to explore how your body awareness is affected. It may help researchers better understand how the brain processes body signals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a short virtual reality experience can help reduce stress. It is for healthy people aged 18-35 who feel stressed and speak German.
This study uses a brain scan (fMRI) to learn how the brain processes shortness of breath in people with advanced heart failure, COPD, or lung cancer. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat breathlessness.
This study tests whether using an immersive virtual reality headset changes how hard you breathe during exercise on a stationary bike. It is for healthy adults aged 18–40 to explore if VR can make exercise feel easier.
This study looks at how people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy volunteers experience shortness of breath at rest, during exercise, and during a virtual reality activity. It also tests whether a placebo (a fake treatment) can affect breathlessness. This could help improve future treatments for breathing difficulties.
This trial tests whether a virtual reality experience with sensors on the head and hand can help adults by measuring brain and body responses. It's a pilot study, meaning it's early research to see if the approach works.
This study tests whether using virtual reality can improve lung function and reduce anxiety in people with uncontrolled asthma. It may help you breathe better and feel calmer by using a guided virtual reality exercise program.
