Official title
Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training Among Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Active Treatment (IMACT)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This clinical trial studies whether breathing exercises for the muscles that help with breathing air in, inspiratory muscle training (IMT), works to improve breathing muscle strength, shortness of breath, and physical activity levels in women who are receiving chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer (BC). Cancer and/or treatments for BC can directly result in muscle wasting that involves breathing muscles, skeletal muscles or heart muscles. Pain, weakness, shortness of breath, and side effects of cancer treatment may lead to lower physical activity levels. IMT involves breathing exercises using a small hand-held device. The device makes it a little harder to breathe in, which may help strengthen breathing muscles. IMT may be an effective way to improve breathing muscle strength, shortness of breath, and physical activity levels in women who are receiving chemotherapy for early-stage BC.
