Relief for Veterans

Freespira is a use-at-home medical device that is FDA-cleared to treat panic and PTSD symptoms. In peer-reviewed clinical studies, Freespira’s 28-day treatment has been shown to significantly reduce panic attacks and PTSD symptoms.

Patients complete two 17-minute sessions a day for 28 days. During each session, a sensor measures breathing patterns and provides real-time feedback. Patients who complete treatment will learn a new grounding and breathing technique to help manage symptoms associated with PTSD and panic disorder.

Please consult your VA clinician to determine if Freespira is right for you.

Relief for Veterans at the ready

Freespira can be used with talk therapy and medication.

After authorization, veterans will receive the Freespira system, which includes a sensor, a small breath-sampling tube (cannula), and a tablet with an app.

The treatment corrects irregular breathing patterns—underlying physiologic factors with PTSD and repeated anxiety attacks—and trains the body to reduce or eliminate them.
