Dual-Task breathing training aims to boost brain power in heart failure
NCT ID NCT07581587
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining breathing exercises with cognitive tasks (like memory games) can improve thinking and daily function in adults with heart failure. 54 participants will be randomly assigned to dual-task breathing training, standard breathing training, or a control group. The training lasts 8 weeks, mostly done at home via video calls. Researchers will measure changes in memory, attention, reaction time, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
inspiratory muscle training (breathing exercises) with or without simultaneous cognitive tasks
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, home-based way to improve memory, attention, and quality of life for people with heart failure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvements, if any, might be modest or not last long-term.
