Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether simple diaphragmatic breathing exercises can improve pain, breathing discomfort, posture, body awareness, anxiety, and depression in healthy young adults. If you're generally healthy and not already doing regular breathing or posture exercises, you may qualify.

This study looks at whether a special breathing exercise program can help improve breathing and posture for teens with mild scoliosis. It may help strengthen the muscles you use to breathe out, which could make daily activities easier.
This study compares three different exercise methods to see which one best strengthens your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and improves your overall breathing. If you are a healthy young adult, you might help find better ways to improve breathing fitness.
This study tests whether different breathing exercises can improve lung function and heart rate variability in healthy, inactive young adults. It may help you understand how simple breathing techniques can affect your breathing and heart health.
This study tests whether a 6-week slow-breathing exercise program can lower stress, improve heart rate variability (a sign of healthy heart function), and fix shallow or irregular breathing patterns in healthy young adults between ages 18 and 25. It might help you feel calmer and more in control of your stress.
This trial tests whether breathing exercises can help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. You may qualify if you are between 18 and 50, have mild to moderate symptoms, and are willing to avoid high-intensity exercise and structured breathing for a month.
This study looks at whether breathing exercises can help improve brain health and mental well-being in teens with depression or anxiety. It is designed for adolescents who are already receiving care at a Mayo Clinic psychiatry clinic.
