Breathing breakthrough: stroke Patients' diaphragm studied
NCT ID NCT07447804
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) changes shape and moves in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side of the body. Researchers will measure diaphragm thickness and movement using ultrasound and compare it to breathing muscle strength. The goal is to better understand breathing problems after stroke. About 38 adults in the early recovery phase will take part.
