Respiratory muscle training for people after bariatric surgery

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 is a 12-week randomized clinical trial in post-bariatric surgery patients that compares inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with a sham device, both alone and combined with institutionalized therapeutic exercise. Participants are randomized into branches comparing exercise+IMT versus exercise+sham, and IMT alone versus sham, to isolate the device's effects and its interaction with supervised exercise. Outcomes measured before and after the program include maximum inspiratory pressure, sleep apnea index and sleep quality, resting heart rate and blood pressure, functional capacity, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid profile, body composition, and health-related quality of life. The trial is conducted at a hospital site with in-person interventions and follow-up assessments.
