Graz, StyriaAges 1 minute–6 months - 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 - NCT07518862Recruiting
Using heart rate to guide oxygen therapy settings
This study uses a simple, non-invasive test (heart rate monitoring) to help doctors adjust the flow of oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula. It may help improve how well this breathing support works for you.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05045612RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotics for certain viral lung infections in hospitalized adults
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics affects recovery in adults hospitalized with moderately severe infections caused by specific viruses (influenza, parainfluenza, RSV, or hMPV). It may help show when antibiotics are helpful or unnecessary for viral airway illness.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT06153485Enrolling by invitation
Automated oxygen adjustment for home therapy
This trial is testing a smart system that automatically adjusts your home oxygen levels based on your needs. It's designed for people with stable lung conditions who already use home oxygen therapy.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06525857Recruiting
Observing body changes in long-term oxygen therapy
This study will observe how patients with chronic lung diseases change when they start long-term oxygen therapy at home. It aims to understand how the body adapts to oxygen treatment over time.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04427566RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation to the whole lungs for severe COVID
This Phase 2 study tests whether low-dose whole-lung radiation can improve outcomes for people with severe COVID-19 lung problems who are on ICU breathing machines. It’s designed for patients with new COVID symptoms and low oxygen levels despite critical care.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06840106Recruiting
Steam therapy for breathing issues after thyroid removal
This study tests whether breathing in steam can help with sore throat, cough, or other breathing problems that sometimes happen after a thyroid surgery. If you had a thyroid tumor removed and are having these symptoms, this treatment might help you feel better.
