What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether a set of five breathing exercises can improve lung function and breathing muscle strength in older adults aged 60-75 who are not very active. The exercises include using a device for resisted inhalation and blowing up balloons. Researchers will measure lung capacity, chest expansion, and shortness of breath. The goal is to find a safe, easy way to help seniors maintain healthy breathing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
breathing exercises (inspiratory and expiratory muscle training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help older adults breathe easier and stay active.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require consistent effort, and benefits may be modest.
