Summary
This trial tests special breathing and singing exercises to help people with chronic lung issues. It focuses on patients who have trouble breathing even after standard treatments. The exercises aim to improve lung function and make breathing easier. Singing has been explored as a beneficial activity for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), potentially improving lung function and quality of life.
