Breathing + balance training shows promise for stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT07576166
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding rhythmic breathing exercises to standard balance training can improve balance and trunk control in people who had a stroke 3-6 months ago. Fifty participants will be split into two groups: one gets breathing plus balance training, the other gets balance training alone. Both groups do 60-minute sessions, 3 times a week for 8 weeks.
