NCT ID NCT06596759
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study from the Mayo Clinic tests whether a simple breathing technique—diaphragmatic breathing—can reduce bloating and stomach distension. Thirty-five adults referred for breath testing will learn the technique in a 30-minute session and practice it for 5-10 minutes twice daily for 4 weeks. Their symptoms will be tracked using a detailed questionnaire to see if the exercises make a real difference.
