Kettlebell and breathing exercises for lung health in overweight young adults
This study tests a 12-week program of kettlebell exercises combined with breathing exercises to see if it improves breathing muscle strength and lung function in young adults who are overweight or obese. If you are interested in improving your fitness, it may be a good option.

Using a pain monitor to time breathing-tube removal
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.

H. pylori and stomach growth features study
This study looks at whether having H. pylori infection (a common stomach bacteria) and certain features of stomach growth can predict how early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes will behave and what your long-term outlook might be. You may be eligible if you are being treated with a camera-based removal procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

This study tests if removing the tonsils together with implanting a nerve stimulator (Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation) can better treat sleep apnea in people whose throat sides collapse during sleep.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07724574Recruiting
Comparing two posture treatments with breathing exercises
This study compares two different muscle-strengthening approaches (Kendall vs. Janda) combined with diaphragmatic breathing exercises to improve posture and symptoms in people with upper crossed syndrome (forward head and rounded shoulders).
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–50 - NCT06634264Recruiting
Comparing two therapies for children with sleep apnea after surgery
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
Montreal, QuebecAges 4–14 - NCT07715591Recruiting
Relaxing breathing during awake cataract surgery
This study tests a special breathing and pain education program to help you stay calm and comfortable during cataract surgery while you are awake. It may reduce pain and anxiety without extra medicine.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06638528Recruiting
Can Walking and Breath-Holding Reduce Pain Sensitivity?
This study tests a special breathing technique called 'walking apnea' (holding your breath while walking) to see if it can reduce pain sensitivity. Healthy volunteers will do this exercise, and researchers will measure how it affects your pain perception.
MadridAges 18–65 - NCT06638515Recruiting
Walking and breathing exercise for pain relief
This study tests whether a specific breathing exercise (walking while breathing at a low lung volume) can reduce pain sensitivity. It's looking for healthy people who have no ongoing medical conditions or pain.
MadridAges 18–65 - NCT07714538Recruiting
Breath test for detecting gastrointestinal cancers
This study tests whether a simple breath test can help detect different types of gastrointestinal cancers earlier. If you have been recently diagnosed with one of these cancers or have concerning abdominal symptoms but clear test results, your breath may help teach us how to spot these cancers sooner.
Maidstone, KentAges 18 years+ - NCT07696273Recruiting
Breath test for detecting high and low blood sugar
This trial tests a new breath-based sensor to detect low or high blood sugar (hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia) in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It might offer a non-invasive way to monitor glucose levels.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 7–25 - NCT07687628Recruiting
Camera test for breathing trouble in newborns with fistula
This study tests whether a camera-based scope can help doctors diagnose breathing problems in newborns who had surgery for a birth defect where the food tube and windpipe are connected. The goal is to avoid putting a breathing tube in the child during the exam.
Bergamo, ItalyAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07687745RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Breathing exercises for healthy blood pressure during pregnancy
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise device can help keep your blood pressure healthy during pregnancy. You will use a small device 5-7 days a week and sync measurements with your smartphone.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–55 - NCT07672548Recruiting
Pilates for better breathing and quality of life in postmenopausal women
This 10-week study tests whether Pilates exercises can improve lung function and overall well-being in postmenopausal women who have breathing problems. It may help you feel stronger and breathe easier.
AmmanAges 50–60 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06222333Recruiting
Breathing exercise for broken ribs
This trial tests a simple breathing exercise to help people with a broken rib or chest injury heal better. It focuses on those who have only a chest injury and no other serious problems.
KastamonuAges 18–100 - 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 - NCT05992324Recruiting
Testing lung ultrasound software for shortness of breath
This study is testing a software that helps doctors perform and interpret lung ultrasounds in patients with shortness of breath. The goal is to see how well the software works for identifying certain lung patterns called B-lines.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07614685Recruiting
MRI and Breathing Tests to Study Healthy Lung Function
This study uses advanced MRI imaging and breathing tests to understand how healthy lungs work. Researchers are developing new ways to measure lung function that might help doctors diagnose lung disease earlier in the future.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for breathing?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 354 recruiting breathing studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- 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.
