Simple breathing tricks tested for broken rib recovery
NCT ID NCT06853002
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two simple breathing exercises—deep breathing and using a spirometer (a device that measures how much air you breathe in)—to see which one helps people with broken ribs breathe better. The trial will enroll 104 patients with rib fractures from chest trauma. The goal is to find out which exercise improves oxygen levels and reduces time in the intensive care unit.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
breathing exercises and incentive spirometry
What this could lead to
If this trial shows one method is better, it could lead to a standard, simple breathing exercise to help people recover faster after a rib fracture.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (104 people) comparing two common techniques. The results may not apply to everyone with rib fractures, and the difference between the methods might be small.
