- NCT05323864Recruiting
Altitude exposure study for anxiety and low mood
This trial looks at what happens to people with anxiety and depressive symptoms after going to high altitude with low oxygen. It may help researchers understand whether altitude affects these symptoms and how it might be managed.

Intermittent low-oxygen therapy for sleep apnea and health risks
This early-stage study tests a treatment that briefly reduces oxygen during sleep to improve “plasticity,” with the goal of helping people with obstructive or mixed sleep apnea. It also looks at related conditions like high blood pressure and pre-diabetes or cholesterol problems, especially in people who haven’t tried CPAP yet.
Detroit, MichiganAges 30–60 - NCT05996432RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Using imaging to guide radiation therapy for head and neck cancer or brain tumors
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer called 18F-FMISO to see areas of low oxygen (hypoxia) in your tumor. The results may help doctors adjust your radiation plan to target those areas more precisely.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06011876Recruiting
BioFLO breathing training for spinal cord injury
This study is testing a special breathing training device (called BioFLO) for people with chronic spinal cord injury to see if it can strengthen their breathing muscles and improve their respiratory recovery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06142019Recruiting
Testing pulse oximeters in healthy adults during low oxygen
This study checks how well pulse oximeters (the devices that clip on your finger to measure oxygen levels) work when healthy people breathe lower-oxygen air. It helps make sure these devices are accurate for everyone.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT06187896Recruiting
Remimazolam to prevent low oxygen during hysteroscopy in overweight women
This trial tests whether a sedation drug called remimazolam can reduce the risk of severe low oxygen levels during a hysteroscopy for overweight or obese women undergoing fertility treatment. If you qualify, you may receive a gentler sedation option that could be safer for you.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–50 - NCT06204731Recruiting
Exercise in low oxygen for young men
This study tests whether exercising in a low-oxygen environment (like high altitude) can affect stress, inflammation, and energy in your body. It is for young males who are generally healthy and can exercise safely.
KrakowAges 19–29 - NCT06417177RecruitingEarly Phase 1
How aging and menopause affect blood vessel response to low oxygen
This study tests how blood vessels in women respond to low oxygen levels at different stages of menopause. It may help explain why aging affects heart health.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–70 - NCT06584318Recruiting
Intermittent Hypoxia for Early-Stage Colorectal Cancer
This study tests whether short bursts of low oxygen (intermittent hypoxia) can help treat early-stage colorectal cancer. It's designed for people with stage I or II colorectal cancer who are otherwise healthy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06796764Recruiting
Breathing tube safety during endoscopy in people with obesity
This trial tests a special breathing tube to see if it can prevent low oxygen levels during sedated endoscopy in people with obesity. If you are scheduled for both an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, this study may help make the procedure safer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07035028Recruiting
Scalp stimulation test for baby's oxygen levels during labor
This trial tests a simple, non-invasive scalp stimulation on your baby's head during labor to see if it can predict whether your baby is getting enough oxygen, potentially avoiding the need for a more invasive blood test.
MadridAges 18–50 - NCT07173543Recruiting
Type 2 Diabetes and Brain Health Study for Adults 60–85
This study looks at how type 2 diabetes affects blood flow in the brain and thinking ability. It compares people with diabetes to those without, and may help understand how to protect brain health.
Iowa City, IowaAges 60–85 - NCT07307560Recruiting
High-flow oxygen during sedation for sleep apnea patients having endoscopy
This study tests if high-flow nasal oxygen can prevent oxygen drops during sedated endoscopy in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help people who are at higher risk of breathing problems during the procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07333599Recruiting
Study of low oxygen in full-term newborns
This study looks at full-term babies born with very low cord blood pH (a sign of oxygen shortage). It aims to understand different patterns of low oxygen and how they affect newborns. Doctors hope this can improve care for babies with similar issues.
StrasbourgAges birth–1 day - NCT07583498Recruiting
Treating Muscle Stiffness After Spinal Cord Injury With Oxygen Therapy
This study tests whether brief periods of low oxygen (called acute intermittent hypoxia) can reduce muscle stiffness and tightness that develops after a spinal cord injury. Researchers believe this approach may help improve arm and hand function.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07664462Recruiting
Heat and Altitude: Male Exercise Study
This study tests how your body handles working in heat when you are also at a simulated high altitude. The results could help understand physical limits and safety in jobs or sports.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT06906536Enrolling by invitation
Intermittent low oxygen to improve leg function after spinal injury
This trial tests whether short, controlled sessions of low oxygen (like breathing thin air) can improve leg movement and blood markers in people with spinal cord injuries. It may help with walking or standing.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT07577336Recruiting
Portable MRI for brain injury in children
This study tests whether a small, portable MRI machine can take pictures of the brain at the bedside for children with brain injuries from lack of oxygen or blood flow. It may help doctors see the injury sooner and guide care without moving the child.
Kansas City, MissouriAges Up to 17 years - NCT06469801Recruiting
Portable MRI for brain injury in children on ECMO
This study uses a portable MRI to look for brain injuries in children on ECMO (a heart-lung support machine). It may help doctors detect problems early and improve care.
Kansas City, MissouriAges birth–17 years - NCT04912960Recruiting
PEEP breathing support for adults with acute lung failure
This trial studies whether a specific breathing setting called PEEP can help adults whose lungs are failing and who need a breathing machine. Doctors will compare outcomes in patients who fit this critical illness pattern and are safe for the required positioning and ventilator settings.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - NCT04467333Recruiting
Registry for lung cancer patients at a pulmonary hypertension center
This is a hospital registry study that collects information from people with lung cancer. It looks at pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) in relation to lung cancer, which may help doctors understand risk and care needs.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT03797482Recruiting
Tracking low oxygen around breast cancer surgery
This study measures low oxygen that can happen during the time around breast cancer surgery. It may help doctors understand why this happens and how to improve care around the operation.
Mumbai, MaharashtraAges 18 years+ - NCT07063732Recruiting
Ketone drink, high altitude, and brain blood flow during exercise
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester supplement affects brain blood flow and exercise performance at high altitude. It may help us understand how to support brain function during altitude exposure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hypoxia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 121 recruiting hypoxia 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 hypoxia 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 hypoxia 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.
