Recruiting studies
- NCT06966271Recruiting
Lung medication study for asthma or COPD patients
This study uses computer modeling to see how much of your inhaled medication reaches your lungs. It helps doctors understand how to better treat breathing conditions like asthma or COPD.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT06935825Recruiting
Breathing muscles in severe lung disease
This study looks at how the breathing muscles work in people with very advanced COPD who are waiting for a lung transplant. It aims to understand the problems these muscles face and how that affects patients.
AmsterdamAges Any age - NCT04164173Recruiting
Breathing therapies after heart surgery for lung overinflation
This study looks at breathing (respiratory) therapies to help after certain heart surgeries that can cause the lungs to feel overly inflated. If you’re eligible, you may receive and be assessed for how well these breathing treatments work during your recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05684562Recruiting
Lung function and exercise capacity in Fontan patients
This study looks at how well the lungs and heart work together during exercise in people who have had the Fontan operation. The goal is to understand how lung function affects overall fitness, which can help improve care for Fontan patients.
AnkaraAges 8–55 - NCT04220463Recruiting
Hypnosis during noninvasive breathing support for ICU lung illness
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05986318RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing breathing issues from lung radiation in people with ILD
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine) can reduce breathing problems caused by radiation to lung tumors in patients who have both lung cancer and fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). It aims to find a better way to manage side effects from radiation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07867184Enrolling by invitation
Firefighter lung health study
This study looks at how firefighting affects your lungs over time. By tracking your health and exposures, researchers hope to find ways to prevent lung problems in firefighters.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT06083363Recruiting
Recovery after severe lung infection
This study follows patients who had severe pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) to understand how they recover over time. It aims to identify factors that affect recovery trajectories.
Tortosa, TarragonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07835945Recruiting
Testing blood gas from artery vs fingertip in breathing distress
This trial compares blood drawn from an artery (arterial blood gas) with blood from a fingertip (capillary blood gas) to see if the fingertip test gives accurate enough results for patients in the emergency room with breathing problems caused by COPD or heart failure. It might help reduce the pain and discomfort of repeated artery tests.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07239583Recruiting
RSV infection and health impact in older adults in Vietnam
This study looks at how common RSV (a virus that can cause serious breathing problems) is in older adults who are hospitalized with respiratory symptoms or worsening heart/lung conditions. By joining, you help researchers understand the virus and improve care for people your age.
Ho Chi Minh City, Southern VietnamAges 60 years+ - NCT04772170Recruiting
Study wearable and symptom monitoring during respiratory virus challenges
This observational study looks for digital health patterns during studies where people are intentionally exposed to a respiratory virus. If you join a respiratory virus challenge at NIH, you may help researchers discover better ways to monitor and understand illness using wearable devices and shared health data.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT05681962Recruiting
Improving breathing support during flexible bronchoscopy
This trial studies how to give oxygen and breathing support during a flexible bronchoscopy (a camera test through the airways). It may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable by refining the way oxygen is managed during the test.
CatanzaroAges 18 years+ - NCT02852928Recruiting
ChILD-EU registry for childhood lung disease samples
This trial builds a European “registry and biobank” of children with suspected or confirmed interstitial lung disease (a type of lung problem), as well as conditions that can look similar. It helps researchers learn more about these rare childhood lung diseases and connect families to future studies.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges Any age - NCT06282718Recruiting
Observational study of respiratory infections in primary care
This study tracks how patients with respiratory infections (like bronchitis, sore throats, or COVID-19) are treated in family doctor offices across Europe. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care. You may be able to join if you have a cough, sore throat, or other symptoms that suggest a respiratory infection, and you go to a participating clinic.
AntwerpAges Any age - NCT06072690Recruiting
COPD and Heart Health Study
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing and heart health. It is for people who are newly diagnosed with COPD and have a history of smoking.
Kaunas, Kaunas CountyAges 40 years+ - NCT07549555Recruiting
Chest Wall Vibration After Lung Surgery to Help Breathing
This trial tests whether gentle vibrations applied to your chest wall after lung surgery can help you breathe better and reduce how long you need a chest tube (a tube that drains fluid from around your lungs). The study includes patients recovering in the hospital after thoracic surgery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07293429Recruiting
Posture and breathing training for COPD with forward head posture
This study tests a program that combines posture correction and breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD who also have a forward head posture. It aims to improve breathing and reduce shortness of breath.
LahoreAges 40–60 - NCT06670443Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for COPD breathing and leg muscles
This trial tests if electrical stimulation can help people with COPD strengthen both their breathing and leg muscles. It may improve your ability to move and breathe more easily.
DokkiAges 40–65 - NCT07118956Recruiting
Ear stimulation for apathy in Parkinson's
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on your ear (taVNS) can help improve low motivation (apathy) in people with Parkinson's. It also uses MRI scans to see how the treatment affects the brain.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40–90 - NCT06476470Recruiting
Taiwan ILD registry for understanding lung disease
This registry is gathering information from people with different types of interstitial lung disease (ILD) across Taiwan. It aims to better understand the disease and improve future care.
TaichungAges 18 years+ - NCT06504433Recruiting
Natural history of mitochondrial diseases
This study follows people with mitochondrial disease over time to learn more about how the condition progresses. It may help researchers find better ways to manage and treat mitochondrial diseases in the future.
Randwick, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06677268Recruiting
Sleep and breathing rehab study for COPD patients
This study tests whether a respiratory rehabilitation program improves sleep quality in people with COPD. It may help you breathe better and sleep more restfully.
AmiensAges 50 years+ - NCT07358910Recruiting
Tracking infectious diseases in communities
This study looks at how infections spread in villages in Cambodia. If you live in a participating village, you might help us understand and prevent disease outbreaks.
Phnom Penh, Phnom PenhAges 2–75 - NCT05266222Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 181 recruiting respiratory disease 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 respiratory disease 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 respiratory disease 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.
