Study Details

This clinical trial evaluates whether home-based respiratory muscle training is useful for minimizing side effects in patients undergoing treatment for cancer. Over-activation of the nervous system during breast cancer treatment can result in heart- and lung-related side effects which have the potential to reduce a patient's quality of life. Aerobic exercise can help prevent the development of these side effects. However, engaging in regular aerobic exercise may be difficult for breast cancer patients who are actively undergoing treatment. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) involves a series of breathing and other exercises that are performed to improve the function of the respiratory muscles through resistance and endurance training. Home-based RMT may represent a more feasible approach for reducing side effects in patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Group I (low resistance RMT Group)
    Patients receive usual care for 12 weeks on study and a Respiratory Muscle training Device with small breathing resistance
  • Experimental: Group II (Moderate to highter resistance RMT)
    Patients undergo RMT using a respiratory muscle training device with moderate to higher breathing resistance for 12 weeks on study.
