A recent study involving 101 patients in Australia compared a 12-week online singing program to usual care, revealing notable benefits for participants who engaged more frequently.

The findings were presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress, showing that women and individuals with anxiety or depression experienced the greatest improvements, especially those who attended more sessions.

Professor Natasha Smallwood emphasized that group singing can improve breathing control, social connection, and mood, which may lead to a better quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic breathlessness.
