Respiratory Muscle Strength Training to Prevent Respiratory Muscle Weakness in Adults Newly Diagnosed With Breast Cancer (NCT07229378)
Respiratory Muscle Strength Training to Prevent Dyspnea in the Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patient Prior to Surgery"
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if respiratory muscle strength training can prevent respiratory muscle weakness in adults who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer and are planning to have surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does respiratory muscle strength training in adults preparing for breast cancer surgery reduce the weakness that often occurs with surgery. Researchers will compare Guided Imagery exercises to respiratory muscle strength training to see which is more helpful. Participants will: * Carry out respiratory muscle strength training or Guided Imagery exercises for at least 2 weeks at home. * Meet with the researcher at home to complete breathing measurements before starting the exercises, after completing the exercises, and again after surgery. * Keep a diary of the exercises that have been completed.
