Heart-Lung Function and Foot Pressure in COPD
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together (cardiopulmonary function) and how you put pressure on your feet while walking (plantar pressure) in people with COPD. It may help design better rehabilitation programs.
New Taipei CityAges 45–65 - NCT07486791Recruiting
Baduanjin exercise for heart health after heart attack
This study tests whether a gentle exercise called 'Lying-Sitting-Standing' Baduanjin can improve heart and lung function and quality of life in people who have had a heart attack and also have heart failure.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges Up to 85 years - NCT07130968Enrolling by invitation
Heart and lung function study with exercise test and five-year follow-up
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work during exercise by using a special test called a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Researchers will follow you for up to five years to see how your health changes. It may help you understand your heart condition better and get more personalized care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04616313Recruiting
MRI and breathing tests in people who vape
This study uses a special lung scan (MRI) and breathing tests to understand how vaping affects lung structure and function. It may help researchers learn what early lung changes happen after starting vaping, even if you don’t feel sick.
London, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT06856525RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
MRI scan to study lung health in e-cigarette users
This study tests a new type of MRI scan to see how e-cigarettes affect your lungs. It's for young adults who vape nicotine regularly. The results may help doctors understand vaping-related lung damage.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–35 - NCT05740397Recruiting
Testing blood pressure targets during heart-lung bypass
This trial compares different strategies for keeping a specific blood pressure level during heart-lung bypass surgery. It may help reduce complications by finding the safest blood pressure target during the operation.
VeronaAges 18–80 - NCT05584722Recruiting
Study risk and resilience in pulmonary arterial hypertension
This study looks at how people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and certain genetic risks cope and how their bodies respond over time. It may help researchers understand factors linked to better or worse outcomes, and how different people manage the condition.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 15–80 - NCT03909477Recruiting
Study of MRI brain scans in cannabis smokers over time
This study follows people who currently or used to smoke cannabis to see how cannabis use may change certain MRI scan signals in the brain over time. You may help researchers understand the effects of cannabis smoking and how brain imaging changes can be measured safely.
London, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT05593627RecruitingPhase 4
Lithium to improve sleep and thinking after heart surgery
This trial tests whether lithium carbonate can improve sleep and thinking (cognitive function) after heart valve surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help some people who have trouble sleeping or thinking after surgery, but it excludes people with significant sleep or thinking problems before surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–65 - NCT05566483Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiopulmonary function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 27 recruiting cardiopulmonary function 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 cardiopulmonary function 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 cardiopulmonary function 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.
