Breathing strategies for COPD with high carbon dioxide
This trial compares different breathing strategies for people with COPD who still have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood a few weeks after a severe flare-up. The goal is to find the best way to help you breathe easier and improve your oxygen levels.
ArezzoAges 18–90 - NCT04208126Recruiting
Early versus late ECMO start for severe lung failure
This trial compares starting ECMO early versus later in adults with severe lung failure (ARDS). It tests whether starting the life-support machine sooner can improve outcomes by the time doctors need it.
TübingenAges 18 years+ - NCT07060079Recruiting
Using entropy to measure sleep breathing in chronic lung disease
This study uses a special mathematical method called entropy to better understand sleep-disordered breathing in people with chronic respiratory disease. If you have a long-term lung condition, this research could help improve how sleep breathing problems are detected and managed.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07050823Recruiting
Studying chronic breathing issues and other health problems
This trial looks at how long-term health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure might affect breathing problems. The goal is to better understand and help people with both issues.
São Carlos, São PauloAges 30 years+ - NCT07051954Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for long COVID recovery
This study tests a special breathing and muscle training program to help people with long COVID feel better and move more easily. The training is designed to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe and to improve your daily function.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07047092RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP vs. NIV for sleep apnea in COPD after breathing failure
This trial compares two breathing devices (CPAP and NIV) for people with both COPD and sleep apnea who recently needed breathing help in the hospital. The goal is to see which device works better at preventing future breathing emergencies.
ParisAges 18–84 - NCT07050732RecruitingPhase 2
Testing RSV vaccine in people with weakened immune systems
This study tests an RSV vaccine in people with weakened immune systems (like transplant recipients) and in older adults. It aims to see how well the vaccine boosts protection against RSV, a common respiratory virus.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06991777Recruiting
Precision sedation in the ICU
This trial tests a precise way to manage sedation for intensive care patients who need it for more than 24 hours. It aims to improve recovery and reduce side effects.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07041671Recruiting
Can a mouth spray reduce virus in breath?
This trial tests whether ColdZyme mouth spray can lower the amount of virus you breathe out when you have a cold or flu-like illness. It may help you recover faster and reduce spreading the virus to others.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT07041021Recruiting
Fluid guidance during abdominal surgery using neck vein
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during abdominal surgery by using ultrasound to check the internal jugular vein in your neck. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications after surgery.
