Facial mask breathing support: comparing two techniques
This trial tests two different hand techniques for holding a face mask during general anesthesia. It aims to find which method works better for helping patients breathe, and may be relevant for anyone having planned surgery under general anesthesia.

Tracking inhaler use in lung disease
This study looks at how well people with COPD or asthma use their inhalers. It aims to understand common problems and find ways to improve treatment adherence.
Hradec KrálovéAges 18 years+ - NCT07180368Recruiting
Managing multiple medications in older adults
This study looks at how to better manage multiple medications in older adults with long-term health conditions. It aims to improve safety and reduce drug-related problems.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 65 years+ - NCT07176117Enrolling by invitation
Surfactant via airway device for breathing trouble in newborns
This trial tests if giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) through a special airway device can help late preterm and early term infants with breathing problems. The goal is to see if this approach works better than current methods without needing a breathing tube.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 8 months–9 months - NCT07176767Recruiting
Sleep study on insomnia and mask use in kids
This study looks at how insomnia affects how well children and teenagers use their breathing mask (PAP therapy) for sleep apnea. It aims to find ways to help kids stick with their treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 8–18 - NCT07176000Recruiting
Helping tribal members get lung cancer screening
This study tests a program to help people in tribal communities get screened for lung cancer. It may help you get a low-dose CT scan to check for lung cancer early, when it’s easier to treat.
Auburn, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07177183Recruiting
Low creatinine as a sign of longer breathing tube use
This study looks at whether low blood creatinine levels can help predict which patients will need a breathing machine for a long time or have trouble coming off it. If you are under 18 and in a post-ICU care unit, you may be able to join.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT07176546RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing TAVNEOS for ear, nose, and throat symptoms in GPA
This trial tests a new drug called TAVNEOS (avacopan) for people with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) whose symptoms affect the ears, nose, or throat. The goal is to see if this drug can reduce inflammation and improve these symptoms better than current treatments.
Edison, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07182955Recruiting
Exercise training for chest pain with clear arteries
This research study looks at why people with chest pain but clear heart arteries have low fitness. It tests whether a home-based interval training program (short bursts of hard exercise) can improve fitness and quality of life.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–85 - NCT07175779Recruiting
Comparing video calls vs. in-person visits for kids' surgery checkups
This trial tests whether a video call before surgery works as well as an in-person hospital visit for checking breathing risks in children getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It may help families avoid extra trips to the hospital.
Bellinzona, Canton TicinoAges Up to 16 years - NCT07176013Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality meditation for voice therapy
This trial tests whether using virtual reality meditation can help people with voice disorders who also feel anxious. If you have a voice problem and anxiety, you might find this treatment helpful.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07176988Recruiting
Voice therapy study for certain voice problems
This study tests a behavioral voice therapy approach for people with voice issues caused by muscle tension or benign vocal fold lesions. It aims to improve communication and requires participants to attend sessions and practice with a smartphone.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 16–65 - NCT07177430Recruiting
