Breathing exercises for teens with ear problems and smoke exposure
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help teenagers with a blocked eustachian tube (the tube that connects the ear to the throat) whose parents smoke. It aims to improve ear and lung function.
Giza, DokkiAges 13–17 - NCT07232550Recruiting
Breathing study for children needing bronchoscopy
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
WarsawAges Up to 17 years - NCT07232433Recruiting
Freezing treatment for lung ground-glass nodules
This study tests a freezing treatment (cryoablation) for lung nodules that look like ground glass and are confirmed to be cancer. It's for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery or radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
Best timing for lung expansion moves during surgery
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–80 - NCT07235098Recruiting
Music therapy for lung cancer surgery patients
This trial tests whether listening to music in the hospital can help reduce distress and pain after surgery for lung cancer. If you are having a minimally invasive surgery (keyhole surgery) to remove part of your lung, you may be able to join.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - NCT07235683RecruitingPhase 4
Stronger CMV treatment for lung transplant recipients
This trial tests adding a drug called letermovir to standard antiviral therapy for lung transplant patients with CMV infection. The goal is to see if the combination helps clear the virus faster and more effectively.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07238933Recruiting
Nerve block study: checking for rare side effects
This study watches for unexpected nerve-related side effects after a single nerve block injection. It aims to find out how often these events happen and what might make them more likely.
Bergamo, BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT07236814RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing flu in hospital rooms with two antivirals
This trial tests if taking suraxavir marboxil or oseltamivir can stop the flu from spreading to people sharing a hospital room with a patient who has the flu.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 12 years+ - NCT07236177RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Enzyme test for early breast, lung, or pancreatic cancer
This study tests a new blood test that measures enzyme activity to detect localized cancer. It is for people with newly diagnosed, untreated breast, lung, or pancreatic cancer, as well as healthy volunteers.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT07237139Recruiting
Lung volume changes during breathing support in preterm infants
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07233304Recruiting
Lung opening procedure safety in children on breathing machines
This trial tests a lung opening procedure (alveolar recruitment maneuver) in children on a breathing machine to see if it's safe and helpful. It compares how well the procedure works with different machine settings.
