Diaphragm-Focused IMT Training Effects on Psychosocial, Cardiopulmonary Outcomes in Healthy Women
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
This ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry documents a randomized controlled trial (NCT07553039) investigating whether diaphragm-focused Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) affects psychosocial parameters (attention, anxiety, motivation) and cardiovascular/respiratory parameters in healthy women. Participants were divided into three groups: experimental (IMT at calculated intensity), SHAM (placebo IMT), and control (measurements only), with pre-test and post-test assessments conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. The experimental and SHAM groups received one week of diaphragm muscle activation training followed by IMT administered five days per week for four weeks.
“The experimental and SHAM groups received one week of diaphragm muscle activation training before the experimental intervention began, followed by IMT administered five days a week for four weeks.”
About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
This registry entry documents a new clinical trial registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, not a regulatory change. The study will assess whether diaphragm-focused Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) produces measurable improvements in psychosocial parameters (attention, anxiety, motivation) and cardiovascular/respiratory outcomes compared to a SHAM (placebo) group and untreated control. Participants in the experimental and SHAM groups complete one week of diaphragm muscle activation training followed by four weeks of IMT at five days per week; the control group undergoes measurements only.
Affected parties include healthy female research participants and clinical investigators conducting respiratory muscle training research. This registry entry does not impose compliance obligations on regulated entities; it is an informational record of an ongoing research study with an anticipated completion date of April 27, 2026.

Psychosocial and Cardiopulmonary Outcomes Following Diaphragm-Focused IMT Training in Healthy Women
N/A NCT07553039 Kind: NA Apr 27, 2026
Abstract
The aim of this clinical study is to determine whether diaphragm-focused IMT training has an effect on respiratory, psychosocial, and cardiovascular parameters in healthy women. The primary questions the study aims to address are as follows:
Does Diaphragm-Focused Respiratory Muscle Training (IMT) positively affect participants' psychosocial parameters (attention, anxiety, motivation)? Does Diaphragm-Focused Respiratory Muscle Training (IMT) improve participants' cardiovascular and respiratory parameters? To assess the effects of Diaphragm-Focused IMT on psychosocial, respiratory, and cardiovascular outcomes, participants were administered IMT at 0% of their MIP level, and the results were compared to a SHAM (placebo) group.
Participants:
They were divided into 3 groups (experimental, SHAM, control); The experimental and SHAM groups received one week of diaphragm muscle activation training before the experimental intervention began, followed by IMT administered five days a week for four weeks. The control group did not participate in any training and only took part in measurements.
All measurements were conducted in two phases-pre-test and post-test-under controlled laboratory conditions.
Conditions: Healthly Volunteers, Women
Interventions: Inspiratory Muscle Training(PowerBreathe), Inspiratory Muscle Training (%0 MIP)
