BronAges 5 months–6 months - NCT07197138Recruiting
TMS for depression with long COVID
This trial tests whether accelerated TMS (a brain stimulation treatment) can help people with depression who also have long COVID. It may be an option if your depression hasn't improved enough with medication alone.
Munich, BavariaAges 18–65 - NCT07196436Recruiting
Air cleaner and ventilation study for asthma
This study tests if improving home ventilation and adding air cleaners can help manage asthma symptoms. It's for adults and children with asthma who own their home in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Arlington, TexasAges 5 years+ - NCT06046495RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an oral EGFR inhibitor for non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests PLB1004, an oral medication that targets a specific gene mutation (EGFR) in non-small cell lung cancer. It may be an option if you have this mutation and are looking for a new treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06519149Recruiting
Device for sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial tests a device placed in your mouth during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It may be an option if you cannot or do not want to use a CPAP machine.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06941441RecruitingPhase 3
Exercise and medicine study for pulmonary arterial hypertension
This trial tests whether adding the study drug sotatercept to your current PAH therapy along with a home exercise program can help you feel better and be more active. It's for people with certain types of PAH who are stable on their current treatment.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06339268Recruiting
Brain and body training to prevent confusion after lung surgery
This study tests whether special physical and brain exercises before and after lung surgery can help older adults (ages 60+) avoid confusion or memory problems. Participants will use a tablet or phone to follow the program.
BelgradeAges 60 years+ - NCT06104774Recruiting
Family tai chi after lung surgery for better breathing
This study tests if doing tai chi with your family can help your lungs work better and improve your mood after a thoracoscopic lung surgery. You would practice tai chi exercises and the researchers will check your breathing and mental health.
Taichung, North Dist.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06339632Recruiting
Electrical stimulation of breathing nerves and muscles in healthy adults
This study tests two gentle electrical stimulation methods on the nerves and muscles that help you breathe. It is for healthy adults to see how these treatments affect breathing.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–60 - NCT06670261Recruiting
Testing a new way to diagnose breathing problems
This study uses computer modeling to understand nasal breathing. It compares people without nasal symptoms and those with chronic nasal blockage from a deviated septum, to see if modeling can help diagnose the cause.
BordeauxAges 18–69 - NCT06941948Recruiting
Sleep and immune system in lung cancer
This study looks at how sleep problems affect your body's immune response to lung cancer. It aims to find links between sleep and the tumor environment, which could help improve treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT05098717Recruiting
PEEP settings guided by lung pressure in pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests whether using lung-pressure measurements to adjust ventilator PEEP (a breathing-support setting that keeps airways open) can help people with pulmonary fibrosis who are on a breathing machine for acute respiratory failure. It may improve breathing comfort and oxygenation by finding the best PEEP level for you.
ModenaAges 18–90 - NCT04666246Recruiting
Studying breathing effort in people with COVID-19 breathing failure
This study looks at how hard people with COVID-19 are working to breathe when they have serious breathing trouble but are not yet fully on a breathing machine. The results may help doctors better understand breathing support needs and improve care.
ModenaAges 18–80 - NCT06255626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
