What this trial studies

Adolescents with Familial Mediterranean Fever will be assigned to an inspiratory muscle retraining (IMR) group or a waitlist control, with 20 participants per group. The IMR group will perform two IMR sessions daily, five days per week, for eight weeks; each session consists of three sets of ten breathing cycles. Both groups will continue their prescribed colchicine treatment during the study. Outcomes will focus on changes in pulmonary function, exercise tolerance, and fatigue.
