What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a simple breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to standard cardiac rehab helps people with narrowed heart arteries recover better. 72 adults who had a heart procedure (angioplasty) will be split into two groups: one does standard rehab, the other adds breathing training. Researchers will measure exercise capacity, muscle strength, mood, and quality of life after 8 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using a Power Breath device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make cardiac rehab more effective, helping people breathe easier and improve their daily function after a heart procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 72 participants. The added benefit of breathing training is uncertain, and results may not apply to everyone with heart disease.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 72 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Nov 2024

Expected to finish

Mar 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * people with Myocardial Ischemia and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty * both sexes * over 18 years old * under 80 years of age * absence of cognitive deficits and/or physical limitations that would prevent them from performing physical exercise or completing the questionnaires required for participation in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * disease or condition that contraindicates exercise such as severe hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy * severe aortic stenosis and/or dissecting aortic aneurysm * patients who refuse treatment or do not sign the informed consent.
