This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing SELF-BREATHE, a free online program with breathing exercises and self-management tools that you can use at home to help manage everyday breathlessness. About half of the participants will get access to SELF-BREATHE along with their usual NHS care, while the other half will continue with their usual care alone. The research team wants to find out whether SELF-BREATHE actually helps people breathe better and feel better in their daily lives.
Over 3 million people in the UK live with chronic breathlessness from conditions like asthma, COPD, or lung disease, and many struggle to find support or end up in hospital emergency rooms. This trial exists to see if this new treatment can give people an easy-to-access way to help themselves at home, rather than waiting for in-person appointments or emergency care.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to either receive SELF-BREATHE plus your usual NHS care, or to continue with usual NHS care alone. If you get SELF-BREATHE, you will use the online program at home for six weeks, working through breathing exercises and self-management tools at your own pace. The research team will follow up with all participants to see how you're doing, check whether the program helps your breathlessness and quality of life, and ask whether you'd like to keep using it after six weeks.
