Recruiting studies
- NCT07531537Recruiting
Breathing exercises versus neck muscle training for neck pain
This study compares two types of exercises—breathing exercises and deep neck muscle training—to see which works better for people with long-term neck pain. You'll do one type of exercise program to help relieve your pain and improve function.
ZagazigAges 18–35 - NCT07532733Recruiting
Sedation Safety During Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Procedure
This study examines how a specific sedative medication (dexmedetomidine) affects breathing and heart function during a minimally invasive procedure to replace a faulty heart valve. Researchers want to ensure the sedation is safe and effective for older adults.
BrusselsAges 60 years+ - NCT07532941RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping antibiotics early versus completing the full course
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics to children: stopping when symptoms feel better versus finishing all the prescribed doses. Researchers want to see if stopping early is safe and works just as well, which could help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 1–17 - NCT07532811Recruiting
How Lungs Distribute Air and Blood in Critically Ill Children
This pilot study uses a special belt around the chest to measure how air and blood are distributed in the lungs of children on breathing machines in the intensive care unit. The goal is to better understand lung function in critically ill children.
Bron, FranceAges Up to 12 years - NCT06744244Recruiting
Smell test for newborns with birth asphyxia
This study tests whether a simple smell test can help doctors better understand the risk of brain injury in newborns who had oxygen loss at birth. It may help identify babies who need extra monitoring without requiring cooling treatment.
ParmaAges 6 hours–3 days - NCT07516418RecruitingPhase 1
RSV and Flu H5 Vaccine Formulations Study
This study tests different versions of experimental vaccines designed to protect against RSV (a common respiratory virus) and flu H5. You'll receive one of these vaccines and be monitored to see how safe it is and how your body responds.
Griffith, QueenslandAges 18–49 - 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+ - NCT07522450Recruiting
Sleep monitoring in critically ill patients on breathing support
This study measures sleep quality in patients hospitalized in intensive care who need help breathing. Researchers will use EEG (brain wave monitoring) to see if tracking sleep helps improve patient care and outcomes.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06696638Recruiting
Guiding breathing help with lung imaging vs. pressure in ARDS
This trial compares two ways to set the breathing machine for people with ARDS (a serious lung injury). One method uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to see how the lungs are working, while the other uses pressure measurements. The goal is to find the best way to adjust ventilator support to help you breathe more easily.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07514481Recruiting
Lung ultrasound comparison of two surfactant delivery methods in preterm babies
This study compares two ways of giving surfactant (a lung-coating medicine) to newborns with breathing trouble: LISA (a gentler, less invasive method) versus traditional breathing tube delivery. Researchers will use ultrasound to see how the medicine spreads in each baby's lungs to find the best approach.
DohaAges 6 months–10 months - NCT07513051Recruiting
Breathing Support and Diaphragm Movement in Premature Newborns
This study watches how a premature baby's diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves when receiving CPAP breathing support. CPAP is a common gentle air pressure treatment that helps newborns breathe better. Understanding this movement may help doctors improve breathing support for very premature babies.
CréteilAges 3 days–2 months - NCT07511582RecruitingPhase 2
Steroids for severe breathing problems in the ICU
This study tests whether a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) can help people with severe breathing problems or serious infections who have a specific 'hyperinflammatory' pattern. If you are in the ICU on a ventilator, this trial may be an option for you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07508904Recruiting
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 - NCT07503509Recruiting
Study of high PEEP in noninvasive ventilation
This study tests whether using higher pressure settings (PEEP) on a noninvasive breathing mask can help people with low oxygen levels. The doctors will measure the pressure inside your esophagus to guide the treatment.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07501923Recruiting
How heat exposure day and night affects human health
This study looks at how exposure to heat during the day, night, or both affects the health of healthy young adults. It may help understand how heat impacts the body and find ways to protect people from heat-related risks.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–30 - NCT07504731Recruiting
Effect of body position and breathing support on lung function
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07502677Recruiting
Can a sleep test detect breathing trouble in ALS?
This study tests a new wearable device called SleepImage to see how well it detects breathing problems during sleep in people with ALS. The goal is to catch early signs of respiratory failure before they become serious, helping doctors decide when to start breathing support.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07498127Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Probiotics for colds in young children
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can help young children recover faster from common colds. If your child has a mild or moderate cold and is not taking other probiotics, they may be able to join.
Xuhui, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 3 months–6 years - NCT06772454Recruiting
Testing a new drug combo for advanced lung cancer with COPD
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) to standard chemotherapy and inhaled steroids helps people with advanced lung cancer who also have COPD. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06775106Recruiting
Breath test to find lung infections faster
This study tests a new breath analysis method to quickly diagnose respiratory infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. If successful, it could lead to faster treatment for serious lung conditions.
Portland, OregonAges 18–120 - NCT06772922Recruiting
Pulmonary and heart rehab program testing combined exercise
This trial studies a combined lung and heart rehabilitation program for people with lung diseases (like COPD, asthma, or fibrosis) or heart conditions (like heart attack, bypass surgery, or heart failure). The goal is to see if a special exercise program can improve your health and quality of life.
Campinas, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07481916Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 922 recruiting respiratory 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 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 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.
