Inspiratory Muscle Training for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Toronto, Ontario
Individuals with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) often experience dyspnea. Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) has been shown to improve dyspnea and respiratory muscle function; however, the impact of IMT in combination with whole-body exercise training on respiratory muscle strength, dyspnea, and daily function remains unknown. The objectives of this research are i) to evaluate dyspnea, respiratory muscle strength and function, ventilatory parameters, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in individuals with hEDS and HSD compared to healthy age and sex-matched controls, ii) to explore the contributors to dyspnea during exercise with a specific focus on respiratory muscle structure and function in hEDS and HSD patients and healthy controls, and iii) to assess whether the combination of IMT and whole-body exercise training will be more effective than whole-body exercise training alone in improving participant outcomes in hEDS and HSD participants. It is hypothesized that i) hEDS and HSD participants will have lower respiratory muscle strength, higher peripheral airway resistance, lower HRQL, and higher anxiety and depression levels compared to healthy controls, ii) the contributors to increased exercise induced dyspnea will include decreased respiratory muscle strength, increased airway resistance, and greater prefrontal cortical neural activity, and iii) the combination of IMT and whole-body exercise training will be superior to whole-body training alone for improving dyspnea, respiratory muscle strength and endurance, aerobic capacity, HRQL, anxiety, and depression.

Inspiratory Muscle Training for Lung Transplant Candidates
Toronto, Ontario
Recovery after lung transplantation (LTx) may be complicated by prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) and protracted intensive care unit (ICU) stay leading to immobilization and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). In the critical care setting, diaphragm atrophy and weakness have been associated with difficulty weaning from MV, increased risk for readmission to hospital or ICU, and increased mortality. Increasing respiratory muscle strength by inspiratory muscle training (IMT) as part of pre-rehabilitation mitigates respiratory muscle dysfunction peri-operatively and may reduce the risk of post-operative complications. However, IMT is not widely used prior to LTx and the benefits of pre-operative IMT on post-transplant outcomes in LTx candidates have not been studied. Objectives: (1) To evaluate the feasibility of a multicenter randomized clinical trial of IMT in LTx candidates in terms of recruitment rate, retention, program adherence, and outcome ascertainment; (2) To establish the change in pre-transplant dyspnea perception, diaphragm structure and function, health related quality of life (HRQoL) and post-transplant intensive care unit (ICU), hospital and post-transplant 3-month outcomes with IMT relative to usual care group; and (3) To characterize the effect of pre-transplant IMT on peri-transplant diaphragm myofibrillar cross-sectional area (CSA), oxidative capacity, inflammatory markers and post-transplant diaphragm muscle thickness and function (UHN TGH site).

Inspiratory Muscle Training for Mechanical Ventilator Weaning
Toronto, Ontario
Respiratory muscle dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation and is strongly associated with weaning failure. Efforts to strengthen the respiratory muscles, aimed at reversing or minimizing the impact of respiratory muscle weakness on clinical outcomes, have generally focused on the diaphragm with specific inspiratory muscle training (IMT) exercises. However, the effectiveness of these exercises and impact on clinical outcomes are not current practice in the majority of ICUs, as they are hardly feasible in ICU patients who often cannot be disconnected from the ventilator and cannot fully cooperate.
Promising results have been published concerning non-respiratory training techniques, which can also target the accessory muscles, particularly important in the presence of increased load to the respiratory system, as in the case of the weaning phase. These non-respiratory training techniques would have the advantage of not entailing disconnection of the patient from the ventilator. In particular, in healthy subjects, a quasi-isometric neck contraction, called neck flexion, appeared to generate greater or comparable recruitment of some principal and accessory muscles of respiration, when compared to conventional IMT. However, this has not been studied in patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, for whom IMT with threshold loading devices remains the primary recommended rehabilitation strategy.
Therefore, the primary aim of the investigators is to assess the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of neck flexion and to compare them with IMT technique in patients with difficult and prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation. Secondary aims are: i) to characterize which respiratory muscles are recruited and their level of activation at different levels of ventilatory assistance and ii) to assess which respiratory muscles are recruited and their level of activation during the two techniques and to compare these findings.
The hypothesis of the investigators is that neck flexion will be feasible (more than conventional IMT), well tolerated, and safe in patients with difficult and prolonged weaning. The investigators also hypothesize that, reducing the level of assistance and during unassisted breathing, a progressively increasing activation of the diaphragm, neck and trunk respiratory muscles, reflecting increased ventilatory load, will be fund. Finally, the hypothesis of the investigators is that the level of muscle activation/recruitment during neck flexion will be comparable or even greater to that occurring during IMT, as found in healthy subjects.
Finding a new and highly feasible rehabilitative technique, able to recruit and train the respiratory muscles (including accessory muscles), will have the potential to promote patients' weaning and improve all related clinical outcomes, and therefore to dramatically shift the paradigm about the role of rehabilitation in ICU.

Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training for High Blood Pressure
Boulder, Colorado
Above-normal systolic blood pressure (SBP), defined as SBP \>/= 120 mmHg, is the major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, cognitive decline/dementia, and other chronic health problems. Despite the availability of treatments to lower SBP, over 75 percent of adults with above-normal SBP fail to control BP, which has led to a nearly 50 percent increase in the number of deaths attributable to BP over the past decade. Therefore, above-normal SBP is a major public health burden.
* Greater than 65 percent of adults 50 years of age and older have above-normal SBP. The number of adults age 50 years and older is rapidly increasing, predicting a continued increase in above-normal SBP driven morbidity and mortality in the absence of effective treatment strategies. This makes developing novel SBP-lowering therapies an urgent biomedical research priority.
* Increasing SBP is closely linked to vascular dysfunction, observable as impaired endothelial function, increased large-elastic artery stiffness, and impaired cerebrovascular function. Declines in these functions play a large role in the increased risk of chronic disease associated with above-normal SBP. The primary mechanism responsible for SBP-induced vascular dysfunction is thought to be oxidative stress-associated inhibition of nitric oxide bioavailability. Therefore, to have the largest biomedical impact, new SBP-lowering therapies should also improve vascular function by decreasing oxidative stress.
* Healthy lifestyle practices, such as conventional aerobic exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, or reducing sodium intake, are all first-line strategies to lower SBP. Importantly, these lifestyle practices also improve vascular function, in large part by reducing oxidative stress. However, adherence to healthy lifestyle practices is poor, with adherence to guidelines generally between 20 to 40 percent in adult Americans. The greatest reported barrier to meeting healthy lifestyle guidelines is lack of time. Therefore, time-efficient interventions have great promise for promoting adherence, reducing SBP, and improving other physiological functions.
* High-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) is a time-efficient (5 minutes per session) lifestyle intervention consisting of 30 inspiratory maneuvers performed against a high resistance. Preliminary data suggest 6-weeks of IMST performed 6 days/week reduces SBP by 9 mmHg in adults with above-normal SBP (i.e., greater than 120 mmHg) at baseline. Importantly, this reduction in SBP is equal to or greater than the reduction in blood pressure typically achieved with time- and effort-intensive healthy lifestyle strategies like conventional aerobic exercise. However, these results need to be confirmed in an appropriately powered clinical trial with a longer, guideline-based treatment duration. Furthermore, the influence of IMST on functions impaired by above-normal SBP (endothelial, cerebrovascular, cognitive) needs to be determined, as do the mechanisms through which IMST exerts beneficial effects.
* Accordingly, we will conduct a randomized, blinded, sham-controlled, parallel group design clinical trial to assess the efficacy of 3-months of IMST (75 percent maximal inspiratory pressure) vs. brisk walking (40-60% heart rate reserve; an established healthy lifestyle strategy) for lowering SBP and improving endothelial, cerebrovascular, and cognitive function in adults age 50 years and older with above-normal SBP. I hypothesize IMST will lower SBP and improve endothelial function by decreasing oxidative stress and increasing nitric oxide bioavailability. I also hypothesize IMST will improve cerebrovascular and cognitive function, and that these improvements will be related to reductions in SBP and improvements in endothelial function. I also expect adherence to the intervention to be excellent (over 80 percent of all training sessions completed at the appropriate intensity).
* To test my hypothesis, I will recruit 102 adults age 50 years and older who have SBP \>/= 120 mmHg. Subjects will undergo baseline testing for casual (resting) SBP, 24-hour ambulatory SBP, endothelial function, arterial stiffness, cognitive function, and cerebrovascular function. Innovative mechanistic probes including pharmaco-dissection with vitamin C, analysis of biopsied endothelial cells, and high-throughput metabolomics, will be performed to assess oxidative stress and nitric oxide bioavailability at baseline.
* After baseline testing, subjects will be randomized to perform either 3-months of high-resistance IMST or brisk walking. Subjects will train 6 days/week with one training session supervised in the laboratory and the other 5 performed unsupervised at home. Following 3 months of training, subjects will redo all the tests that were done during baseline testing to assess training-induced changes in SBP, physiological functions, and underlying mechanisms.

Breathing Training for Sleep Apnea
Tucson, Arizona
This trial will test if a breathing exercise called Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) can lower blood pressure in adults over 50 with sleep apnea. The exercise strengthens breathing muscles, which may help relax blood vessels and reduce heart stress. Researchers hope this will be an effective treatment for those who don't respond well to other methods. Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health in various populations, including those with obstructive sleep apnea.

Breathing Exercises for Healthy Subjects
Los Angeles, California
The goal of this study is to determine whether tasks related to breathing training (daily inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and increased access to health data/awareness) performed for 12 weeks leads to positive changes in mental and physical states, and if these changes are sustained three months later. The study will assess whether IMT, compared to a sham IMT and the control group, improves psychological well-being, body awareness, and physical relaxation. Although there is evidence that all three interventions make a difference, the extent of their impact is yet to be determined, so the study aims to compare the effectiveness of the interventions, aiming to determine which may be most beneficial.
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
* Do tasks related to breathing training (high resistance IMT, low resistance IMT, or access to health data) performed over 12 weeks enhance mental and physical well-being?
* Are the changes in mental and physical states sustained three months post-intervention?
* Is IMT more effective than sham IMT or simple health data engagement in improving well-being?
* Who benefits from each intervention?
Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups:
* IMT: Daily inspiratory muscle training at a moderate to high resistance.
* Sham IMT: Daily inspiratory muscle training at a low resistance.
* Control: Participants will track their health data but not engage in IMT.
Participants will:
* Engage in daily IMT or sham IMT training for 12 weeks.
* Engage with the Oura ring and app by checking in daily to sync the ring's data and review personal health insights.
* Complete daily and weekly surveys tracking mental and physical health.
* Have biometric data collected at baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and at a 3-month follow-up.

Swallowing Exercises for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Cleveland, Ohio
This study has two parts: an observational part and an interventional part.
The goal of the observational part of the study is to look for variations in swallowing in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and in adults who don't snore. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Are there differences in swallowing between people with OSA and people who don't snore?
* Are there differences in swallowing between people with OSA who do well with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and those who struggle with CPAP?
This may help us better understand what causes OSA, which may help us develop alternate ways to treat or even prevent OSA. It may also help us improve care for people with OSA who struggle with CPAP. Participants will be aged 40-60 years, except women up to the age of 70 will be included in the healthy control (non-snorer) group.
Participants will:
* Undergo a type of x-ray study called a modified barium swallow study (MBS)
* Come to MetroHealth Medical Center for a measurement visit to:
* assess the strength of their tongue, lips, and cheeks
* assess the strength of their breathing muscles
* assess for restrictions in tongue mobility (tongue ties)
* observe their resting breathing
* take photos of their mouth and posture
* take videos of them drinking and eating
* Complete some questionnaires
* For successful CPAP users: we will download data from the chip in their CPAP device
* Do a home sleep test (except for successful CPAP users who have had a recent in-lab sleep test)
The goal of the interventional part of the study is to test swallowing exercises in people ages 40-60 years with OSA who struggle with CPAP. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Can swallowing exercises help people who struggle with CPAP sleep better with CPAP?
Participants will:
* Try to use CPAP for 2 weeks with individualized support
* Do all the investigations listed in the observational part of the study
* Do one or two courses of swallowing exercises, each of which would last 7 weeks. Participants will be asked to do daily exercises; exercises will take 20-30 minutes to perform.
* Try to use CPAP for 2 weeks after the course of exercises
* Repeat the investigations listed in the observational part of the study to see if changes occurred with the swallowing exercise intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Inspiratory Muscle Training clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Inspiratory Muscle Training clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Inspiratory Muscle Training trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Inspiratory Muscle Training is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Inspiratory Muscle Training medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Inspiratory Muscle Training clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Inspiratory Muscle Training for Pulmonary Hypertension, Swallowing Exercises for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Inspiratory Muscle Training for Lung Transplant Candidates to the Power online platform.
