Pupil Measurements to Predict Breathing Problems After Surgery in Children
This study tests whether measuring how a child's pupils (the dark circles in the eyes) respond to light can predict which children might have breathing problems after receiving pain medication during tonsil surgery. The goal is to help doctors catch and prevent serious breathing issues before they happen.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 3–17 - NCT07558265Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods in the emergency department
This study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07513519Recruiting
Quick respiratory virus test in urgent care clinics
This trial tests whether a fast multiplex PCR test (a molecular test that identifies multiple respiratory viruses at once) helps urgent care doctors treat patients with common respiratory illnesses more effectively. The test results are analyzed to see if they improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary antibiotics.
Gardendale, AlabamaAges 1 year+ - NCT06694311Recruiting
Testing CPAP and high-flow oxygen for ARDS
This study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–80 - NCT07431840Recruiting
Immune protein for respiratory infections in older adults
This trial tests whether an immune defense protein can help reduce upper respiratory infections (like colds) in people aged 60 and older. It may be a good fit if you get colds or flu-like symptoms several times each season.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07396428Recruiting
Reducing antibiotic use for respiratory infections in Swiss primary care
This study tests whether following a national guideline for treating common respiratory infections (like colds, sore throats, or bronchitis) can help doctors in Switzerland prescribe fewer antibiotics. It focuses on primary care physicians and clinics in certain cantons who are willing to participate in surveys and interviews.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges Any age - NCT07350018RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing Two Surfactants for Premature Babies With Breathing Problems
This trial compares two types of surfactant (Calfactant and Poractant Alfa) given through a less invasive method to very premature babies with breathing problems. It aims to see if one works better at helping them breathe without needing a breathing tube.
BursaAges birth–6 hours - NCT06774534Recruiting
SerpinB3 protein in acute respiratory distress
This study looks at a protein called SerpinB3 and its role in severe lung inflammation (ARDS). It may help doctors understand how ARDS develops and find new ways to treat it.
Padova, PDAges 18 years+ - NCT07308795Recruiting
Measuring belly breathing muscles in Parkinson’s patients
This trial uses ultrasound to measure the size of belly and rib muscles that help you breathe. It looks at how these muscles relate to the severity of Parkinson’s and your ability to exhale strongly.
