Recruiting studies
- NCT07498855Recruiting
Testing deep inspiration breath-hold for breast radiation
This trial checks how well a breathing technique (deep inspiration breath-hold) works when you have radiation to the lymph nodes in your chest. It looks at whether holding your breath during treatment helps protect your heart and lungs.

Tokat ProvinceAges 18–65 - NCT07542301Recruiting
Breathing Patterns in Premature Babies During Extubation
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
Newark, DelawareAges birth–6 months - NCT07544433Recruiting
Breathing Training to Help Reduce Acid Reflux
This study tests whether special diaphragm breathing exercises (using the muscle below your lungs that controls breathing) can reduce acid reflux symptoms. You'll learn and practice these exercises over time to see if they help your GERD without needing more medication.
Changhua, Changhua CountyAges 20–80 - NCT07561567Recruiting
Breathing Control Device for Lung Cancer Radiation
This trial tests a new device that helps control your breathing during radiation therapy for early-stage lung cancer. By keeping your lungs still during treatment, the radiation is more accurate and may reduce side effects.
TianjinAges 18 years+ - NCT07574333Recruiting
Breathing Training to Help Type 2 Diabetes Management
This study tests whether special breathing exercises that alternate between low and high oxygen levels can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better. Researchers want to see if short or longer courses of this training improve blood sugar control and overall health.
MoscowAges 50–74 - NCT07594600Recruiting
Fiber Diet Effects on Breath Compounds in Healthy Adults
This study examines how different amounts of dietary fiber affect natural chemical compounds released in your breath. Researchers will measure these compounds to understand how fiber influences your gut health and digestion.
ÖrebroAges 18–65 - NCT07645027Recruiting
Breathing exercises to improve lung function after neck spinal cord injury
This study tests whether special breathing exercises using a handheld device can help people recover lung strength after a recent cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injury. The exercises are done during in-patient rehabilitation and may help you breathe better and improve your overall recovery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–38 - NCT07648082Recruiting
Understanding Breathlessness in Lung Disease
This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18–100 - NCT07665320Recruiting
Monitoring DVT treatment with a new skin sensor
This study tests a new, non-invasive skin sensor that uses electrical currents to see how well clot-busting medication is working in people with deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg). The goal is to make monitoring easier and more comfortable.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT07546526Enrolling by invitation
Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety During ECT Treatment
This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset that shows relaxing scenes can help reduce anxiety in patients receiving ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) for depression. ECT is a medical procedure that uses electrical currents to help severe depression, and this trial explores whether VR can make the experience less stressful.
BrusselsAges 18–75 - NCT07494006Enrolling by invitation
Which breathing mode is safer during lung surgery?
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one keeps your oxygen levels more stable. You will be randomly assigned to breathe either normally or with a special mode during the one-lung part of the surgery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07485816Enrolling by invitation
Heart-brain oxygen and thinking changes in heart failure
This study looks at how well your heart and brain work together to use oxygen, and how that relates to changes in thinking and memory for people with heart failure.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–70 - NCT07233707Enrolling by invitation
Creatine loading and breath-hold cycling performance
This study tests whether taking creatine monohydrate for 7 days improves how long you can hold your breath while cycling. It's for healthy, experienced breath-hold divers who haven't used creatine recently.
Athens, KallitheaAges 18 years+ - NCT07214441Enrolling by invitation
BE+ program for lung cancer survivors
This trial tests a program called BE+ for people who have finished treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if the program is practical and helpful for improving health after treatment.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT07202780Enrolling by invitation
MS and Muscle Strength in Breathing and Legs
This study looks at how MS affects the strength of your breathing muscles and leg muscles. If you join, you will have tests to measure your muscle strength, walking ability, and fatigue. This may help doctors understand how to better treat MS-related weakness.
Gaziantep, şehitkamilAges 18–50 - NCT07141524Enrolling by invitation
Improving breathing and blood flow during ECMO
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing and blood flow in patients on a heart-lung machine (VA ECMO). It may help doctors adjust care to improve oxygen delivery and recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07064629Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality breathing training for anxiety
This trial tests if using virtual reality with biofeedback to practice relaxation breathing can help people with anxiety disorders. It aims to see if this method is more effective than standard techniques.
Klecany, Czech RepublicAges 18–65 - NCT07046234Enrolling by invitation
Lung ultrasound for people with shortness of breath
This trial uses a portable ultrasound at the bedside (called point-of-care lung ultrasound) to quickly examine the lungs of people who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see how well this test works for finding lung problems in the hospital or clinic.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 22 years+ - NCT07037030Enrolling by invitation
Mindfulness for ADHD in children

- How do I know if I qualify for a breathing trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a breathing trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
