Comparison of Breathing Exercise for Hypertensive Patients
HypertensionTo determine the Effectiveness of diaphragmatic breathing vs. slow breathing techniques on blood pressure and Quality of life in adults with stage 1 hypertension. In accessible literature limited data was found on the comparison of different breathing techniques. The current study will compare the effect of slow vs. diaphragmatic breathing exercises and will demonstrate which one is more effective.

Healthy Volunteers Bioavailability StudySingle-Dose Fasting Bioavailability Study of Revefenacin Inhalation Solution, 175 mcg/3 mL in 24 Healthy Chinese Adult Male and Female Volunteers. This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of Revefenacin Inhalation Solution in the Chinese population. For the determination of the pharmacokinetic disposition of the formulations, The bioavailability of Revefenacin Inhalation Solution, 175 mcg/3 mL will be assessed through various pharmacokinetic parameters derived from the plasma concentration-time curves of revefenacin and its active metabolite, THRX-195518.
Safety of Ascending Single and Multiple Doses of Nebulised SoftOx Inhalation Solution in Healthy...
Healthy VolunteersSafetyBackground: This first-in-human study will investigate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of nebulised SoftOx Inhalation Solution (SIS) delivered via a jet nebuliser to healthy subjects. Objectives: The objective of the current study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple ascending doses of nebulised SIS in healthy subjects. Eligibility: Subjects are eligible to participate in this study if they are healthy, between 18 and 55 years of age, and have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 29.9 kg/m2. Subjects are not eligible to participate in this study if they have recently participated in another clinical trial or have donated blood, have a medical condition or a history of drug hypersensitivity, are using concomitant medication, or have a positive drugs of abuse test. Design: A randomised, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial. Subjects will be enrolled into one of three single dose groups or into one of four multiple dose groups. The two first multiple dose groups will be dosed once daily (OD) for five days. The two last multiple dose groups will be dosed twice daily (BID) for four days plus a morning dose on Day 5, or four times daily (QID) for four days plus a morning dose on Day 5, respectively. The investigational medicinal product (SIS or placebo; IMP) will be delivered via a jet nebuliser and inhaled through a mask over a period of up to 15 minutes. Each treatment group will comprise eight subjects who will be randomised to receive SIS or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. A Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will review the safety and tolerability data from all preceding groups and decide whether the planned next dose regimen is acceptable prior to initiating the dosing in a new dose group. The dose to be administered in the multiple dose groups will depend on the results obtained in the single dose groups and will be decided by the SMC. The dose tested in the first multiple dose group will be the second highest well-tolerated single dose or lower.
Alternate Nostril Breathing on Cardiorespiratory Functions in Phase 1 Post CABG Patients
Post-cardiac SurgeryThe aim of this study is to investigate effects of Anulom vilom pranayama/ Alternate nasal breathing (ANB) on cardio-respiratory parameters including vitals i.e. heart rate, blood pressure, chest expansion, arterial blood gases (ABGs), pulmonary function test and functional capacity in phase 1 post CABG patients. This study will help Cardiopulmonary physiotherapists to incorporate evidence based protocols for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) in phase 1 of cardiac rehabilitation.
Comparison of Muscle Energy Techniques and Breathing Exercises for Functional Improvement in Fibromyalgia...
FibromyalgiaThis study is planned to compare the effects of Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) with breathing exercises for improving functional outcomes in patients with fibromyalgia. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Sample size would be 26 patients with fibromyalgia randomly allocated to the Muscle energy techniques group and breathing exercise group. Both the groups will receive 8 weeks of treatment, 3 times per week. Data will be collected at baseline 5th week and 8th week. Outcome measurements include a Numeric pain rating scale, 6 min walk test, chest expansion, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire scores.
Pharmacological Intervention for Symptomatic Mild Sleep Disordered Breathing
Sleep Disordered BreathingCurrently, there is no pharmacological intervention for mild symptomatic obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in the form of loud habitual snoring, inspiratory flow limitation (i.e. upper airway resistance syndrome), or mild sleep apnea. Here the investigators study the effect on SDB of stimulating pharyngeal muscles during sleep with AD036. The key hypothesis of the study is that AD036 is superior to placebo on self-reported and objective measures of SDB severity.
Peak Inspiratory Flow and Dry Powder Inhaler Performance in COPD
COPDThe purpose of the study is to determine whether PIF is clinically important when using the Ellipta DPI device. In addition, the study will validate the best/most clinically appropriate way to perform a PIF maneuver, to determine the testing capabilities of the preferred PIF maneuver and to relate this PIF measurement to meaningful clinical outcomes in COPD patients

Viral PneumoniaNitric Oxide6 moreThe purpose of this multi center, open label, randomized, study is to obtain information on the safety and efficacy of 150 ppm Nitric Oxide given in addition to the standard of care of patients with viral pneumonia
Inspiratory Muscle Training in COVID-19 Patients
Covid19ExerciseThis study aims to investigate whether adjunctive inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can enhance the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with COVID-19. 120 patients will be randomized into an interventional group (PR plus IMT) and a control group (sham IMT plus PR). Improvement in quality of life, peak VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope will be defined as a primary outcome. Maximal inspiratory pressure, inspiratory muscle endurance, pulmonary function testing, severity of fatigue, cost-effectiveness and six minute walk test will be defined as the secondary outcomes.
