ALS study of swallowing comfort, quality of life, and PEG views
This study looks at swallowing problems in people with ALS and how they affect quality of life, including people’s attitudes toward PEG (a feeding tube). It may help researchers understand what support and information could improve comfort and day-to-day living.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06463899Recruiting
Numbing medicine tubes during bypass surgery
This study tests whether numbing medicine given through two thin tubes placed during heart surgery can help you recover faster and breathe better. It is for adults having on-pump coronary bypass who also have a lung condition or other risk factor.
ReimsAges 75 years+ - NCT06751537Recruiting
Testing a wearable device for COPD severity
This trial tests a wearable device (WearME) that tracks your breathing and activity to see how well it can measure COPD severity. It may help you and your doctor better understand your lung function at home.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–100 - NCT07010783Recruiting
Breathing exercises for Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects breathing. It tests exercises that might help people with Parkinson's breathe better and feel healthier.
AnkaraAges 50–80 - NCT07259577Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve can improve arm movement, breathing, and quality of life in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It involves a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck during therapy sessions.

Exercise effects in children with cystic fibrosis
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can improve muscle strength, breathing, and fitness in children with cystic fibrosis who are stable and able to exercise.
LahoreAges 6–18 - 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+ - NCT06758791Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 76 recruiting respiratory 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 respiratory 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 respiratory 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.
