Openness Personality Trait Associated With Benefit From a Nonpharmacological Breathlessness Intervention in People With Intrathoracic Cancer: An Exploratory Analysis. Journal of pain and symptom management, 59(5), 1059-1066.e2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2020.01.006

Context: Breathlessness is common in people with lung cancer. Nonpharmacological breathlessness interventions reduce distress because of and increase mastery over breathlessness. Objectives: Identify patient characteristics associated with response t...

A randomised controlled trial of three or one breathing technique training sessions for breathlessness in people with malignant lung disease (2015)
Journal Article
Johnson, M. J., Kanaan, M., Richardson, G., Nabb, S., Torgerson, D., English, A., Barton, R., & Booth, S. (2015). A randomised controlled trial of three or one breathing technique training sessions for breathlessness in people with malignant lung disease. BMC medicine, 13(1), Article 213. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-015-0453-x

© Johnson et al. Background: About 90 % of patients with intra-thoracic malignancy experience breathlessness. Breathing training is helpful, but it is unknown whether repeated sessions are needed. The present study aims to test whether three sessions...

Does home oxygen therapy (HOT) in addition to standard care reduce disease severity and improve symptoms in people with chronic heart failure? A randomised trial of home oxygen therapy for patients with chronic heart failure (2015)
Journal Article
Clark, A. L., Johnson, M., Fairhurst, C., Torgerson, D., Cockayne, S., Rodgers, S., Griffin, S., Allgar, V., Jones, L., Nabb, S., Harvey, I., Squire, I., Murphy, J., & Greenstone, M. (2015). Does home oxygen therapy (HOT) in addition to standard care reduce disease severity and improve symptoms in people with chronic heart failure? A randomised trial of home oxygen therapy for patients with chronic heart failure. Health Technology Assessment, 19(75), 1-120. https://doi.org/10.3310/hta19750

Background: Home oxygen therapy (HOT) is commonly used for patients with severe chronic heart failure
(CHF) who have intractable breathlessness. There is no trial evidence to support its use.

Objectives: To detect whether or not there was a quality-...

A randomised trial of high vs low intensity training in breathing techniques for breathless patients with malignant lung disease: A feasibility study (2010)
Journal Article
Barton, R., English, A., Nabb, S., Rigby, A. S., & Johnson, M. J. (2010). A randomised trial of high vs low intensity training in breathing techniques for breathless patients with malignant lung disease: A feasibility study. Lung Cancer, 70(3), 313-319. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lungcan.2010.03.007

Background: Breathlessness remains a refractory symptom in malignant lung disease. Breathing training is an effective, non-pharmacological intervention but it is unclear how this should be delivered. This feasibility study aimed to assess recruitment...
