Summary

This trial is testing a device called The Lung Master to see if it can help people breathe better by increasing the amount of air their lungs can hold. The device is not yet approved by the FDA.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with breathing difficulties due to conditions like Asthma or COPD. Participants should be able to attend two study visits one month apart and use the Lung Master device daily, recording their usage in a diary.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the Lung Master, an investigational device designed to increase lung capacity. It involves initial and follow-up spirometry tests one month apart to measure changes in lung volume after daily use of the device.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-invasive pulmonary exerciser, side effects may include discomfort from regular use or fatigue during exercises. Specific side effects will depend on individual tolerance to respiratory training.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Lung Function in Young and Older AdultsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Lung functions will be assess for two groups: young and older adults. The age range of 19 to 35 is categorized as young adulthood. This age range was selected because the lungs mature around 19-25 years old. The age range above 65 is designated as late adulthood, where lung function gradually declines.
