RECRUITING

Diaphragm Structure and Function in Childhood Cancer Survivors

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this research is to study the feasibility of a specific training program for the breathing muscles (inspiratory muscle training) and the effects on how breathing is regulated during exercise in childhood cancer survivors.

Official Title

Understanding the Influence of Diaphragm Structure and Function on the Control of Breathing During Exercise in Childhood Cancer Survivors (2373GCCC)
