ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special breathing exercise, called walking apneas at low lung volume, affects pain sensitivity in healthy adults. The researchers want to see if doing this exercise for six minutes can help reduce the feeling of pain, which is known as hypoalgesia. They will also check how this exercise impacts heart and lung function during the activity.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 64 years old and healthy, meaning you shouldn't have any serious medical conditions like heart or lung diseases, a history of seizures, or be currently pregnant. You also shouldn't be taking any medication or experiencing pain on the day of the trial. If you join, you can expect to take part in this walking and breathing exercise and help researchers understand more about how our bodies respond to pain in different situations.
