Simple breathing trick may ease pain after transplant
NCT ID NCT07067580
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing breathing exercises every hour after a transplant can reduce pain and improve how well patients recover. Sixty adults having their first transplant will be split into two groups: one will do the breathing exercises, the other will get usual care. Researchers will check pain levels and recovery quality over the first few days after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- breathing exercise
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain and speed up recovery after transplant surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 people. The breathing exercise may not significantly improve pain or recovery compared to standard care.
