Breathing muscle training during hemodialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) that you do during your regular hemodialysis sessions. It may help strengthen your breathing muscles and improve your overall well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
