NCT ID NCT06381973

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how a breathing technique called ELTGOL affects air distribution in the lungs of people with COPD and healthy volunteers. Participants lay on their side while researchers measured lung activity using a special imaging method. The goal was to understand how manual pressure on the chest and belly changes airflow, which may help improve breathing treatments.
