Exploring the effects of high lung volume static apnea on pain and body functions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled study investigates the hypoalgesic effects of a 6-minute session of voluntary static apnea at high lung volume in healthy individuals. The primary focus is on understanding how this breathing technique influences pain perception, while secondary objectives include assessing its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory functions. Participants will be monitored during the intervention to gather data on these physiological responses. The study aims to provide insights into the potential therapeutic applications of apnea training.
