Chronic Pulmonary Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Breath Training Exercise for the Reduction of Chronic Dyspnea: a Pilot Study
The purpose of this study is to test whether a breath training exercise program may be used
to make patients with chronic lung conditions feel less short of breath, whether such a
program is well received by patients and whether a future larger study is worthwhile.
The breath training exercise program uses some breathing techniques derived from Yoga
practices. They were shown to help patients experiencing shortness of breath feel less short
of breath in other settings. Whether the training is beneficial to patients with chronic lung
conditions, especially those with a history of cancer affecting their lungs, is not clear.
This study would help us answer that question.
