Breathing Practice for Brain and Mental Health in Cancer and Neurodegenerative Diseases (NCT06788886)
Enhancing Brain and Mental Health Through Respiratory Training: Clinical Applications in Cancer and Neurodegenerative Disease Care for Patients and Caregivers (Breathing Study)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This clinical trial studies the effect of respiratory training for enhancing brain and mental health among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and cancer (along with their caregivers). The relationship between respiration, cardiovascular effects in the brain, mental health, and neurophysiological mechanisms are significant for patient populations facing complex health challenges, such as those with cancer and neurodegenerative disease, and their caregivers. By measuring oxygen delivery to brain tissues and cerebrospinal fluid flow, this trial may help researchers investigate the potential benefits of respiratory training for patients with MS and cancer and their caregivers.
