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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at how a single session of breathing muscle training affects vital signs and muscle strength in 34 young male smokers aged 18-25. Participants did breathing exercises at either 30% or 60% of their maximum effort. The goal was to see if the training could temporarily improve breathing and handgrip strength.

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 device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple breathing exercise to improve respiratory and peripheral muscle strength in smokers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-session study in healthy young men, so results may not apply to older smokers or those with lung disease. Long-term benefits are unknown.
