ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how a special type of exercise called inspiratory muscle training can help people with substance use disorder, which is when someone has trouble controlling their use of drugs or alcohol. The study aims to see if this training can improve breathing, reduce feelings of breathlessness, strengthen respiratory muscles, help with coughing, and even improve mood and quality of life. Participants will be adults over 18 years old who are currently receiving treatment for substance use disorder and have been using substances for over a year.
To be eligible, participants should be able to follow simple instructions and not have any serious medical issues or mental health problems that would prevent them from following the program. They should also not have participated in any structured exercise programs in the last six months. If someone joins the study, they can expect to engage in the inspiratory muscle training and take part in assessments to see how their breathing and overall well-being improve over time. It’s important to know that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so those interested will need to wait until it begins.
