All recruiting trials (6)
-
Combined acupressure to reduce post-thoracotomy pain and improve lung volume
This trial will try combined acupressure on patients after thoracotomy to see if it reduces postoperative pain and helps restore lung volume.
-
Diaphragm release to reduce low back pain
This trial will test whether adding manual diaphragm relaxation to core stabilization exercises helps adults with chronic non-specific low back pain have less pain and better function.
-
Using diaphragmatic ultrasound to diagnose acute respiratory distress in emergency patients
This study is testing if using diaphragmatic ultrasound can help doctors quickly diagnose pneumonia and other breathing problems in emergency patients who are having trouble breathing.
-
Effects of electrical stimulation on diaphragm function
This study is testing if two types of electrical stimulation can improve diaphragm function in healthy adults aged 18 to 60.
-
Monitoring diaphragm function during breathing trials
This study is testing a new way to monitor how well the diaphragm works in patients trying to breathe on their own without a ventilator.
-
Comparing diaphragm function measurement techniques in infants on respiratory support
This study is testing two ways to measure how well the diaphragm works in infants on breathing support to see which method is more reliable for checking their readiness to breathe on their own.
