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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 tested whether 8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training (breathing exercises using a device) could improve exercise capacity in 32 people with pulmonary hypertension. Participants were randomly assigned to either active training or a placebo version. The goal was to see if this simple, drug-free approach could help them walk farther and breathe easier.

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
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple breathing exercise program to help people with pulmonary hypertension walk farther and feel less breathless.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 32 participants. The training may not lead to meaningful improvements for everyone, and results may not apply to all patients.
