Recruiting studies
- 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.

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 - 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
Collecting respiratory virus samples for a research library
This study collects samples from people who have or might have a cold/respiratory virus, then stores them for future research. It may help researchers better understand respiratory germs and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 years+ - NCT05993364Recruiting
EFA treatment for brain injury recovery
This trial tests a treatment called EFA for people recovering from a brain injury (from trauma or stroke). It aims to help patients who are still in the early stages of recovery and can breathe on their own during the day.
Rovato, BSAges 18 years+ - NCT07536035Recruiting
Comparing Hospital Care Pathways for Acute Medical Illness
This study compares two different hospital care pathways for adults admitted with acute medical emergencies like infections, falls, or COPD flare-ups. The goal is to see which pathway provides more appropriate and effective care.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT06917573RecruitingPhase 2
Cemiplimab for advanced lung cancer with high PD-L1
This trial tests a drug called cemiplimab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced lung cancer that has high PD-L1 levels. It uses a simple blood test to track how well the treatment is working.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07030075Recruiting
Flu and respiratory infection study in Lusaka
This study looks at flu-like symptoms and other respiratory infections in adults in Lusaka, Zambia. It aims to understand how these infections affect people with and without HIV, and may help improve care.
Lusaka, Lusaka ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07370103Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure in liver disease patients after anesthesia
This study uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow in the neck's main artery to see if it can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure after you are put to sleep for surgery. It is for adult patients with chronic liver disease who are having planned surgery.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT06788886Recruiting
Breathing practice for brain and mental health in cancer and other illnesses
This study tests a simple breathing practice to see if it can improve brain health and mental well-being for people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, or their caregivers. You will do light exercises and answer questionnaires, and some participants will also have an MRI brain scan.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07429669Recruiting
Comparing shoulder nerve blocks for pain and breathing
This study compares two different shoulder nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery while also checking how they affect your breathing. If you are having a shoulder arthroscopy, you may be eligible to help find the safest and most effective pain control option.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06642454Enrolling by invitation
Breathing-guided nerve stimulation for Parkinson's disease
This study tests a type of nerve stimulation (vagus nerve) for Parkinson's disease. It compares a method that uses your breathing cycle to deliver stimulation versus standard stimulation. The goal is to see which works better for movement and non-movement symptoms.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40–80 - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices
This is a follow-up registry that collects information from people who have (or will receive) an eligible Medtronic device. It helps the company and doctors better understand how the device works in real-world use.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04256798RecruitingPhase 3
Respiratory care after high-risk abdominal surgery
This trial looks at a breathing-focused care plan given around the time of major abdominal surgery to improve recovery and outcomes. You may be eligible if you’re having a large midline abdominal incision and can be followed after surgery.
Botucatu, São PauloAges 10–100 - NCT04209504Recruiting
Nerve block study for one-sided breathing muscle weakness after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05146336Recruiting
CytoSorb registry for critically ill patients needing blood treatment
This registry collects information about critically ill patients who receive the CytoSorb 300 mL blood treatment. It may help doctors better understand when the treatment works best and when it should not be used.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 190 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.
