Natural history study for LAMA2 muscular dystrophy
This study follows people with LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy over time to better understand the condition. It may help with future treatments by learning more about how the disease progresses.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges birth–100 years - NCT07488806Recruiting
Understanding Nemaline Myopathy Over Time (Spain)
This study follows people with nemaline myopathy over time to better understand how the disease progresses. It helps researchers learn more about the condition and plan future treatments.
BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT02299921Recruiting
Alcohol and drug effects on immunity in ICU breathing patients
This study looks at how alcohol and other drugs can affect the body’s immune system in people who are very sick in the ICU due to breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand immune changes during critical illness and respiratory failure.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - NCT06259877Recruiting
Breathing, balance, and function after a stroke
This study tests how breathing muscle strength, balance, and trunk control relate to daily function after a stroke. It aims to help you recover better.
KirikkaleAges 18 years+ - NCT06627283Recruiting
Does breathing muscle training help tongue muscles?
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can also improve your tongue muscle function. It looks for healthy adults between 18 and 65 who can follow instructions in French or Dutch.
LeuvenAges 18–65 - NCT05745298Recruiting
Electrical and breathing therapy to improve unassisted cough after spinal injury
This study tests whether pairing electrical stimulation with breathing muscle training can help you cough without needing assistance. It’s for people recovering from a spinal cord injury within the last year, and who can safely feel and respond to the electrical stimulation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06438302Recruiting
Nasal ventilation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether using a nasal ventilation mask affects how well the brain and lungs work in people who are already on a breathing machine. It is for patients with very low oxygen levels who have been intubated for less than 4 days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07406295Recruiting
Breathing exercises to improve brain and immune health
This trial tests whether a daily breathing exercise device can improve blood flow to the brain and immune function in people with obesity. It may help reduce health risks linked to excess weight.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–45 - NCT07641413Recruiting
Lung and heart health across decades in veterans
This study looks at how lungs and hearts work in healthy veterans over time. If you have no major health conditions, you may help researchers learn how these organs age naturally.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 24–68 - NCT06065215Recruiting
Early-life MRI to Predict Breathing Problems in Extremely Preterm Infants
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the lungs develop in babies born very early (before 29 weeks of pregnancy). The goal is to see if early MRI images can help predict future breathing problems, so doctors can better support these infants.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 8 months–1.8 years - NCT07149428Recruiting
Deep study of smell loss causes using brain scans
This study uses brain imaging and electrical recordings to understand the brain's role in smell loss from any cause—like COVID, sinus problems, or chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have any degree of smell loss lasting under a year.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT02924818Recruiting
Research study for adults with long-term breathing lung diseases
This study enrolls adults with chronic lung conditions like COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or interstitial lung disease. It’s designed to learn more about these illnesses and to develop better ways to study or improve care.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT05427136Recruiting
Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.
BaselAges 4–22 - NCT06925295RecruitingPhase 2

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory function?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 73 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.
