Filter by:It is a prospective randomized controlled trial. In this project, it is aimed to examine the effect of telerehabilitation-based instrumental and noninstrumental respiratory exercise program on lung capacities. For this reason; - Contributing to the literature by comparing the effect of breathing exercises with and without instruments on lung capacities, - It is aimed to be a resource for the effective use of respiratory exercise, which has a high effect on lung capacities, in treatment. In addition, with the data obtained, it is aimed to decide and apply the exercise that is more effective in the treatment of respiratory diseases quickly. Socio-demographic data will be questioned by using the Demographic Data Form; participants, age, gender, height, weight, marital status, smoking and alcohol use, presence of disease, whether they are included in a different exercise program, dyspnea, severe nausea and vomiting. The cases will be randomized into two groups: non-instrumented breathing exercises group and instrumented breathing exercises group. The physical activity status of the individuals participating in the study will be questioned using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) at the beginning and end of the study. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) will be used to measure the lung capacity of the participants. Instrumented breathing exercises will be performed for 8 weeks, 2 days a week with the telerehabilitation program, 3 days a week as a home program, 5 days a week in total, starting with 1 set of 15 repetitions and the program will progress with progression. Diaphragmatic breathing and thoracic extension exercises will be applied as non-instrumented breathing exercises. For 8 weeks, 2 days a week with telerehabilitation method, 3 days a week as a home program, 5 days a week in total, 1 set of 10 repetitions for each exercise and the program will progress with progression. At the end of 8 weeks, all evaluations of the participants in both groups will be repeated.
This research was designed as a pre-test-post-test controlled group randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of breathing exercises applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography for the first time on anxiety. Patients were provided with an informed consent form, a personal information form and the Beck Anxiety Scale. The Beck Anxiety Scale was administered to the control group before and after the procedure. In the experimental group, the Beck Anxiety Scale was administered before the procedure, and after providing breathing exercise education and application, the Beck Anxiety Scale was completed after the procedure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in inspiratory muscle training on cardiorespiratory capacity, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, sports skills, and quality of life of wheelchair rugby athletes. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are the wheelchair rugby athletes show better results in cardiopulmonary assessment tests in safety and effort, in the post- inspiratory muscle training period, when compared to their results in the pre-inspiratory muscle training period? - Is inspiratory muscle training capable of increasing ventilatory capacity at rest and during exertion? Participants will be evaluated through questionnaires, laboratory and field tests, such as: - Pulmonary function (spirometry), - Inspiratory muscle strength (manovacuometry), - Cardiorespiratory capacity under exertion (cardiopulmonary exercise test), - Wheelchair rugby specific skills (Beck Battery) - Quality of life (WHOQOL-DIS) .
Stress plays a major role in the etiology and pathogenesis of anxiety and depression. Relaxation therapies, such as breathing exercises, can reduce stress and increase relaxation. This study has two aims. First, it aims to personalize and optimize breathing protocols. Second, it aims to tailor breathing protocols to subgroups based on prediction models of expected efficacy. Three different breathing protocols, varying solely in their instructed breathing frequency with 40 percent (A), 60 percent (B), and 80 percent (C) of the interindividual spontaneous breathing frequency, are tested in a randomized, counterbalanced crossover trial. Other parameters, such as breathing quality (i.e., nasal and diaphragmatic), rhythm (i.e., prolonged exhalation without instructed pauses) and depth (i.e., increased depth due to slower breathing frequency) as well as contextual factors (e.g., posture, video-based instructions, type of pacer, etc.) are invariant between protocols. First, this study hypothesizes a difference in the relaxation response between breathing protocols A, B, and C. This study looks at the relaxation response from three different angles (1) self-report, (2) autonomic arousal, and (3) central nervous system arousal. Second, this study explores prediction models of expected efficacy based on the interindividual variance in characteristics (i.e., depressive, anxious and stress symptoms as well as expertise in relaxation therapies) and biomarkers (e.g., heart rate variability, peripheral temperature, skin conductance, etc.). Prediction models can tailor breathing protocols to subgroups to increase expected efficacy.

The primary cause of the complex interaction of chronic pelvic pain originates from the visceral organs in the pelvic cavity, and it has been observed that musculoskeletal dysfunctions (such as increased muscle activity in the pelvic floor muscles) are often accompanied by visceral painful stimuli in the pelvic region as a result of shared innervation and visceral-somatic convergence. This study aims to investigate the effect of breathing exercises combined with pelvic floor exercises on pain, pelvic floor muscle activity, psychological factors, and quality of life in women with chronic pelvic pain.

Open cardiac surgery is an important treatment method that is frequently used in the treatment of complicated atherosclerotic ischemic heart disease and heart valve diseases. It is emphasized that respiratory functions decrease significantly after cardiac surgery, especially in the immediate post-operative period. Therefore, despite significant progress in the field of cardiopulmonary bypass and anesthesia technique, pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery are still seen as the main cause of other negative outcomes such as morbidity, mortality, and long-term hospitalization. Cardiac surgery patients are especially at high risk for the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC). It has been reported that deep breathing exercises improve postoperative lung expansion and ventilation, resulting in a significant reduction in pulmonary complications. Postoperative respiratory physiotherapy techniques include techniques such as early mobilization, positioning, breathing exercises, active breathing techniques cycle, as well as the use of different mechanical devices such as incentive spirometry (IS), positive expiratory pressure mask therapy, and continuous positive airway pressure. Incentive spirometry (IS) is a mechanical breathing device that provides slow deep breathing and gives visual feedback and is used as one of the important interventions in the prevention of PPC in patients who have been undergoing open heart surgery for many years. In studies examining the effectiveness of deep breathing exercise with IS on the development of PPC in open cardiac surgery patients, it is seen that IS application is performed in the postoperative period , it is noteworthy that there is no study examining the effectiveness of preoperative IS application. In the light of this information, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of deep breathing exercise with incentive spirometry initiated in the preoperative period on pulmonary function and complications in patients undergoing open heart surgery.
Respiratory motor control deficit is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with spinal cord injury. The long-term goal of this NIH-funded study is to develop a rehabilitation strategy for respiration in patients with spinal cord injury as a standard of care. Respiratory function in patients with chronic spinal cord injury can be improved by using inspiratory-expiratory pressure threshold respiratory training protocol. However, the effectiveness of this intervention is limited by the levels of functional capacity preserved below the neurological level of injury. Preliminary data obtained for this study demonstrate that electrical spinal cord stimulation applied epidurally at the lumbar level in combination with respiratory training can activate and re-organize spinal motor networks for respiration. This study is designed to investigate respiratory motor control-related responses to epidural spinal cord stimulation alone and in combination with respiratory training. By characterization of respiratory muscle activation patterns using surface electromyography in association with pulmonary functional and respiration-related cardiovascular measures, the investigators expect to determine the specific stimulation parameters needed to increase spinal excitability below level of injury to enhance responses to the input from supraspinal centers that remain after injury and to promote the neural plasticity driven by the respiratory training. This hypothesis will be tested by pursuing two Specific Aims: 1) Evaluate the acute effects of epidural spinal cord stimulation on respiratory functional and motor control properties; and 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of epidural spinal cord stimulation combined with respiratory training.
