ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether certain techniques, known as neurophysiological facilitation, can help improve breathing and overall physical ability in patients who have just had open heart surgery. The researchers want to find out if these techniques work better than standard early rehabilitation, which is also being given to both groups in the study.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 to 75 years old and must have had open heart surgery for the first time. However, if you have certain conditions, like fractures, kidney issues, or a history of strokes, you may not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to receive care focused on helping you recover after surgery, including exercises and support to improve your health. This trial is currently looking for participants, and it aims to provide valuable information that could help improve recovery for future patients.
