Recruiting studies
- NCT06403540Recruiting
Pain relief after belly surgery and diaphragm function
This study looks at how different pain relief methods after major abdominal surgery affect the diaphragm, a muscle that helps you breathe. It may help doctors choose the best way to manage pain while protecting your breathing.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06572280Recruiting
Non-invasive nerve stimulation for ARDS patients
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the phrenic nerve (the nerve that controls your diaphragm) to help you breathe on your own sooner. It is for adults with ARDS who have been on a breathing machine for less than two days.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT06650137Recruiting
Using Diaphragm Ultrasound to Find the Cause of Breathing Trouble
This study tests if ultrasound of your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) can help doctors find the cause of sudden breathing trouble. It may help patients who come to the emergency room with fast or difficult breathing and low oxygen levels.
Nîmes, GardAges 18 years+ - NCT06714721Recruiting
Magnetic diaphragm stimulation for COPD
This study tests if magnetic stimulation of the diaphragm muscle can help people with COPD breathe better. If you have had COPD for at least 6 months, are over 18, and can answer questionnaires, you may be eligible.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06724744Recruiting
Can a hand technique help breathing in older women with diabetes?
This study is testing a gentle hands-on technique for the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) to see if it can improve breathing in older women with type 2 diabetes. It may help if you have mild breathing problems and meet the health criteria listed.
Al Mansurah, DakahlyaAges 65–70 - NCT06880783Recruiting
Manual breathing technique for exercise and sleep in diabetes
This trial tests a hands-on breathing technique to see if it can improve exercise capacity and sleep quality in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help you breathe better, move more easily, and sleep more soundly.
Banī SuwayfAges 55–80 - NCT06919757Recruiting
Early Lung Health in Very Premature Infants
This study compares the early lung development of very premature babies who had growth problems in the womb to those who did not. The goal is to understand how growth in the womb affects lung health after birth.
RomaAges Any age - NCT07259174Recruiting
Ultrasound for diaphragm in COPD flare-ups
This study uses ultrasound to measure how well your diaphragm muscle works during a COPD flare-up. The goal is to see if this measurement can help predict how you will recover.
Zwolle, OverijsselAges 18 years+ - NCT07392749Recruiting
Diaphragm pacing via vein during CRT implant
This trial is testing a new way to pace the diaphragm using a special vein in your chest, done at the same time as a standard CRT device implant for heart failure. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works well for helping you breathe.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07411417Recruiting
Acupressure for pain and lung function after chest surgery
This trial tests if acupressure can help reduce pain and improve lung function after a first-time chest surgery. It may offer a non-drug way to support recovery.
IstanbulAges Any age - NCT07664930Recruiting
Pompe Disease: Nerve and Diaphragm Testing
This study looks at the nerve that controls your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) in people with Pompe disease. It aims to better understand breathing problems in Pompe and may help guide future care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diaphragm?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting diaphragm 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 diaphragm 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 diaphragm 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.
