Respiratory Physiotherapy and PMR After Cardiac Surgery Randomized Controlled Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH ClinicalTrials.gov registered a randomized controlled trial (NCT07542691) evaluating respiratory physiotherapy combined with progressive muscle relaxation exercises in 116 cardiac surgery patients. The intervention group will receive 30 minutes of combined therapy daily for three consecutive days in addition to routine postoperative care, while the control group receives routine care only. Outcome measures include dyspnea, anxiety, hemodynamic parameters, and delirium symptoms.
What changed
This document is a clinical trial registration entry for NCT07542691 on ClinicalTrials.gov. The trial will study whether combining respiratory physiotherapy with progressive muscle relaxation improves dyspnea, anxiety, hemodynamic stability, and delirium outcomes in post-cardiac surgery patients.
This is an informational registry entry and does not create compliance obligations for any regulated entity. Healthcare institutions conducting similar research may find the study protocol of academic interest but face no regulatory action or reporting requirement from this registration.

Respiratory Physiotherapy and PMR After Cardiac Surgery
N/A NCT07542691 Kind: NA Apr 21, 2026
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effects of respiratory physiotherapy combined with progressive muscle relaxation exercises on dyspnea, anxiety, hemodynamic status, and delirium symptoms in patients after cardiac surgery. This randomized controlled trial will include 116 patients who will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive respiratory physiotherapy and progressive muscle relaxation exercises in addition to routine postoperative care for 30 minutes per day over three consecutive days, while the control group will receive routine care only. Outcome measures will include dyspnea assessed by the Modified Borg Scale, anxiety assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, hemodynamic parameters obtained from vital signs, and delirium symptoms assessed using the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale. It is hypothesized that the combined intervention will reduce dyspnea and anxiety levels, improve hemodynamic stability, and decrease delirium symptoms. The findings are expected to contribute to improved postoperative recovery and reduced complication risks following cardiac surgery.
