This study is looking at how training your breathing muscles (inspiratory muscles) affects your ability to exercise, your quality of life, and your health after a lung transplant. Researchers are testing a device called POWERBreathe Plus® along with standard cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. They want to see if this training can improve your maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (MIP), which is a measure of how strong your breathing muscles are, after 12 weeks. You may be able to join if you are an adult who has had a single or double lung transplant at Mayo Clinic Florida. The study aims to enroll 30 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 30 adult participants. The study design is not specified as randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would undergo assessments of your lung function, breathing muscle strength, and diaphragm. You would also complete a cardiopulmonary exercise test, a 6-minute walk test, and an inspiratory muscle endurance test.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your maximal inspiratory mouth pressure will be measured at 12 weeks after starting the intervention.
