NCT ID NCT07698873
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new wearable vest designed to strengthen the muscles used for breathing. The vest gently squeezes the chest and belly with elastic bands, providing constant resistance as the person breathes normally. Researchers want to see if wearing this vest for a period of time can improve breathing muscle strength in healthy adult men.
