About this trial
respiratory complications are very prevalent in children with beta thalasemia major (BTM), so choosing inspiratory muscle trianing to decrease of prevent it and to improve pulmoanry funntions is important
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
40 beta thalassemia major children
boys and girls
Disqualifiers
respiratory diseases
cardiac diseases renal diseases liver diseases muscle and joint disease
Trial design
Design model
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
inspiratory muscle training
Behavioralchildren patients with BTM accounted 20 children will receive two session per day of training by threshold inspiratory muscle trainer ( for six day per week for 12 weeks). the session will contain six sets of inspiratory muscle training and the one set will contain five respiratory cycles
