Study effects of tetrachloroethylene in Martinsville, Indiana
This study looks at people living in Martinsville, Indiana to better understand the impact of tetrachloroethylene exposure (a chemical found in some environments). If you’re an adult resident, you may be able to join and help researchers learn how exposure affects health.
West Lafayette, IndianaAges 18–99 - NCT05965830Recruiting
Diaphragm testing in babies using ultrasound or a breathing-recording test
This study compares two ways to measure how well a baby’s diaphragm (main breathing muscle) works in babies and children who need breathing support. It may help doctors choose the best test to guide safe breathing changes, like when to remove the breathing tube or support.
LeidenAges birth–1 year - NCT06224634Recruiting
Testing a new drug for airway problems
This trial tests how a drug called anti-IL-17 affects your airways. If you are already planning to take this drug, researchers want to see if it helps with breathing and airway resistance.
