Brest, FinistèreAges 1–3 - NCT05193136Recruiting
Testing sleep and exercise effects on strength and thinking in lung disease
This trial studies whether improving sleep habits can help people with lung conditions like COPD or IPF maintain muscle strength and thinking (cognitive function). It may help by addressing sleep quality and related health factors, but eligibility depends on your current diagnoses and treatments.
Jōyō, KyotoAges 20 years+ - NCT05207046Recruiting
Study for people on a breathing machine after spine trauma
This trial studies how care is given to people who have a traumatic injury to the spine and need a breathing machine. It may help improve treatment and recovery for people who are ventilated after injury, including those with or without spinal cord damage.
Toronto, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT05207852Recruiting
Dexamethasone study for preterm labor lung development
This trial studies how well dexamethasone works and how it behaves in the body when given during preterm labor to help the baby’s lungs mature. You may be able to join if you’re pregnant between 24–36 weeks and are receiving the study treatment per their schedule.
BeijingAges 20–40 - NCT05231200Recruiting
Improving care for late preterm babies in NICUs
This trial uses a “quality improvement” program to improve how late preterm babies are cared for in participating hospitals’ newborn units. It may help families indirectly by improving team practices and coordination in the NICU.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 7 months–8 months - NCT05246098Recruiting
Rehabilitation program study for young and adult ICU COVID/respiratory survivors
This study looks at whether a rehabilitation approach improves recovery outcomes for people who survived COVID-19 or a serious breathing infection and needed ICU/PICU care. It may help those still dealing with physical or functional problems after their critical illness.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT05248412Recruiting
Study how COVID-19 long-term effects impact chronic diseases
This research looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health and healthcare of adults with long-term conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, or chronic lung disease. It compares people who may have been affected by the pandemic and looks at their health and access to care over time.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05261607Recruiting
Study outcomes for people in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how mortality (whether patients survive) changes over time for people treated in an intensive care unit. It may help hospitals understand what happens to ICU patients and improve care planning.
Getafe, MadridAges Any age - NCT05266222Recruiting
Collecting respiratory virus samples for a research library
This study collects samples from people who have or might have a cold/respiratory virus, then stores them for future research. It may help researchers better understand respiratory germs and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 years+ - NCT05298748Recruiting
Audio recordings to help breathing control mature in preterm babies
This trial studies whether listening to special “womb” sounds can help a preterm baby’s breathing control develop as they grow. It may help babies who are already breathing on their own (with low or no extra oxygen support).
Cleveland, OhioAges 1 week–1 month - NCT05332067RecruitingPhase 2
Omalizumab to prevent future asthma flare-ups before they start
This trial studies whether starting omalizumab before asthma flare-ups begin can reduce how often children get worsening asthma that needs strong steroid medicine. It is for children with persistent asthma who have signs of allergic/asthma triggers and recent flare-up history.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6–17 - NCT05336851Recruiting
Emergency breathing test study for sudden lung infections
This trial tests an emergency breathing-related approach for adults with a sudden, community-acquired respiratory infection. It may help doctors quickly sort out what’s going on and guide early care.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT05336760Recruiting
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+ - NCT05379673Recruiting
Breathing changes with extra oxygen after surgery
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen during recovery from general anesthesia changes how you breathe after surgery. You may be offered different oxygen levels around the time you wake up to see what helps your breathing most comfortably.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05406570Recruiting
Personalized breathing settings for adults with severe ARDS
This trial tests a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
