Breathing muscle training shows promise for childhood cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06205251
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 6-week breathing muscle training program is possible for childhood cancer survivors and how it affects their breathing during exercise. Seven survivors who finished cancer treatment at least a year ago took part. The goal was to see if they could stick with the program and measure changes in breathing strength and diaphragm health.
