Simple breathing workouts may boost recovery after spine fracture surgery
NCT ID NCT07024095
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether special breathing muscle training can improve lung function, walking ability, and quality of life in people aged 50 and older who had spine surgery for fractures caused by osteoporosis. Participants will be split into two groups: one doing breathing exercises plus standard rehab, and the other doing standard rehab alone. The goal is to see if adding breathing training helps them breathe better and feel better after surgery.
