Impact of inspiratory muscle training after burn injury

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

Patients with inhalation injury from burns and 40-60% total body surface area will receive inspiratory muscle training along with conventional physical therapy to see if respiratory and functional outcomes improve. The trial uses a pragmatic approach to compare standard rehabilitation with added inspiratory exercises. This description reflects a non-randomized or exploratory interventional design evaluating feasibility and potential benefits in a post-burn population. Enrollment is limited to adults aged 20-50 with specific burn characteristics treated at Cairo University.
