This study looked at whether 6 weeks of special breathing exercises (inspiratory muscle training) can improve diaphragm strength and reduce shortness of breath in 18 COVID-19 survivors who still had trouble breathing. Participants had proven diaphragm weakness and no other explan…

This completed study looked at 25 people who had COVID-19 but were not hospitalized, yet still felt short of breath and tired. Researchers measured their diaphragm strength using advanced breathing tests and ultrasound. The goal was to see if diaphragm weakness is a hidden cause …

This completed study looked at breathing muscle function in 50 people who were hospitalized for COVID-19. Half had been on a ventilator, half only needed extra oxygen. Researchers used advanced tests to measure diaphragm strength and movement. The goal was to understand why many …

This completed study looked at how nasal high-flow therapy (NHFT) affects breathing and the nervous system in 30 adults with asthma. Researchers measured nerve activity and heart rate to see if NHFT could reduce overactive stress signals. The goal was to gather knowledge, not to …

This study looked at whether chewing gum changes a key asthma breath test called FeNO. Researchers had 30 adults with asthma chew a special sugar-free gum for 15 minutes and then measured their FeNO levels. The goal was to see if gum could cause wrong readings that might lead to …

This study looked at how using a treadmill desk in a cooler or warmer room affects healthy adults' back health, blood sugar, thinking skills, and comfort. Sixteen volunteers spent four days in a lab office, alternating between sitting and light walking at different temperatures. …
