NCT07177027
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of music listening and breathing exercises during labor on pain perception, birth expectations, and birth satisfaction among primiparous women. This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the delivery unit of a hospital located in the Inner Aegean Region of Turkey. The study included 90 primiparous pregnant women admitted for vaginal delivery. Participants without visual, auditory, or neurological impairments were included and randomly assigned into three groups: music intervention group, breathing exercise group, and control group (n=30 in each group). Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups (Music Intervention, Breathing Exercise, Control) using a computer-generated randomization sequence. Allocation concealment was ensured by using sealed, opaque envelopes prepared by a researcher who was not involved in participant recruitment or assessment. In the music intervention group, participants were introduced to 12 music tracks at 36 weeks of gestation during childbirth preparation classes. Short samples of these tracks were played during the class, and the full tracks were then shared with participants via WhatsApp to encourage regular listening at home. During the prenatal period, participants received regular WhatsApp reminders every few days to listen to the music. During labor, participants were encouraged to listen to music whenever they wished. Additionally, at 4 cm, 6 cm, and 8 cm cervical dilation, all participants in this group listened to their preferred tracks from the playlist for 20 minutes. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after each music session. In the breathing exercise group, Lamaze breathing techniques were taught during prenatal classes and practiced throughout the labor process. They were encouraged to practice these exercises throughout labor. At 4, 6, and 8 cm cervical dilation, guided breathing exercises were conducted, and pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after each exercise. In the control group, participants received routine maternity care. VAS pain assessments were conducted at the same cervical dilation points (4, 6, and 8 cm), without any additional interventions. For all participants, the durations of the first, second, and third stages of labor were recorded and compared across groups. In the postpartum period, the Birth Expectation Scale and Birth Satisfaction Scale were administered. Study data included sociodemographic information, VAS pain scores, and scores from the birth expectation and satisfaction scales.
NCT06472167
aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation program as a non-pharmacological treatment method to: Improve functional capacity as assessed by six-minute walking distance (6MWD) test. Improve dyspnea level as assessed by Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scale. Improve pulmonary function tests and arterial blood gas.
NCT06121596
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.
NCT06642376
The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of breathing exercise on fatigue and stress in intensive care nurses. Hypotheses of the study; H11: The level of perceived stress in nurses practicing breathing exercise is lower than the nurses in the control group. H12: The level of fatigue is lower in nurses practicing breathing exercise compared to nurses in the control group. Data will be collected in the intervention and control groups with a pre-test data collection form before the intervention. Patients in the intervention group will be given breathing exercises, while patients in the control group will not receive any intervention. In the second week, interim follow-up data will be collected with the data collection form. At the end of the study; data will be collected from the intervention and control groups with post-test data collection forms.
NCT06602128
This randomised controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effect of breathing exercise on anxiety, pain and vital signs in patients undergoing coronary angiography before angiography. Hypotheses of the study; H11: The anxiety level of the patients who underwent breathing exercise is lower than the patients in the control group. H12: The pain level of the patients who underwent breathing exercise is lower than the control group H13: The vital signs of the patients who underwent breathing exercises are within normal limits compared to the control group. In the study, there will be an intervention group in which breathing exercise will be applied and a control group in which no intervention will be applied. Data will be collected with the pre-test data collection form half an hour before the angiography procedure in patients in the intervention and control groups. Patients in the intervention group will be given breathing exercises, while patients in the control group will not be subjected to any intervention. After the angioplasty procedure, data will be collected from the intervention and control groups with post-test data collection forms.
NCT06507163
It was conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Data were collected with the Introductory Information Form, Numerical Rating Scale, Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and General Comfort Scale.
NCT06134778
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) .
NCT02243527
The effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) remain controversial. Many studies have examined the effect IMT has on exercise performance, but any changes to the body that come from IMT have yet to be looked at. This study will look at how someone breathes can change after IMT. Understanding how IMT changes the body can help us use IMT in different treatments.
NCT02828735
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of subcutaneous impedance measured with an implanted Medtronic Reveal LINQ™ insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) as respiratory rate monitor.
