Breathing exercises for lupus and central sensitization
Part of Immune system & allergy, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific type of slow breathing exercise (called resonance frequency breathing) can help people with lupus who also have central sensitization. Central sensitization is a condition where your brain and nerves are overly sensitive, causing pain and fatigue even when there's no clear injury. These breathing exercises might help calm your nervous system and ease some of these symptoms.
