Improving Outcomes in Dysfunctional Breathing Through the Optimization of Muscle Function (OptiMuscle)
Sponsor
University of Salford
Enrollment
10 participants
Start Date
Mar 1, 2024
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The primary aim will be to understand whether a digital breathing biofeedback system can improve the outcomes of physiotherapist guided breathing retraining.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria4
- Ability to stand and walk independently
- History of breathing difficulties, such as breathlessness and difficult or laboured breathing for at least previous 6 months.
- Clinical diagnosis of dysfunctional breathing, sometimes referred to as breathing pattern disorder.
- If participants have co-existing respiratory problems, e.g. asthma, these should not be felt (in the opinion of the referring clinician) to be the cause of the current symptoms of breathlessness.
Exclusion Criteria5
- Inability to speak and understand English sufficient to read and understand the information sheet and sign the consent form.
- BMI \>34
- Currently receiving active treatment for dysfunctional breathing
- Received treatment for acute lower respiratory tract infection or asthma exacerbation with last 4 weeks
