Hands-on therapy for sleep apnea: a gentle technique
This study tests a gentle manual therapy applied to the neck to see if it can improve breathing and vital signs during sleep. It is for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are not currently using a CPAP machine or other breathing devices.
Mardin, MardinAges 18–65 - NCT07168408Recruiting
Learning bronchoscopy skills transfer
This trial looks at how doctors learn and perform bronchoscopy, a procedure to look inside your lungs. It is for patients who are already scheduled to have a bronchoscopy and a recent CT scan.
EdinburghAges 16 years+ - NCT07166003Recruiting
Immunotherapy before surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy before surgery helps people with lung cancer. It is for patients who have already started this treatment and are otherwise healthy.
BeijingAges 18–79 - NCT07171957Enrolling by invitation
Motor imagery for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
This trial studies whether practicing motor imagery (imagining movements without actually doing them) can help people with COPD improve their breathing and daily function. It may offer a new way to manage symptoms without physical exercise.
KütahyaAges 40–70 - NCT07165717Recruiting
Real-world study of breathing emergencies in ICU patients
This study looks at why some patients develop severe breathing problems in the ICU. It focuses on people who already have conditions like severe infections, injuries, or heavy bleeding that can stress the lungs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07164781Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics for preventing infections in ICU patients
This trial tests whether probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent serious infections in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are very sick and in the ICU, you may be able to join — as long as you don't have certain conditions like cancer or a weakened immune system.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06951633Recruiting
Salt mine rehab for older adults with breathing problems
This study tests if a special rehabilitation program in a salt mine can help people aged 65 and older who have chronic lung diseases breathe better and feel more energetic. The program includes exercises and time in a salt chamber, which may reduce inflammation and make breathing easier.
Wieliczka, WieliczkaAges 65 years+ - NCT03561818Recruiting
Home or hospital physiotherapy for bronchiectasis efficiency
This study compares how well breathing/airway physiotherapy works when done at home versus in a hospital for people with bronchiectasis. It may help determine which approach is easier and works best while you’re stable.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT06201299Recruiting
Chair-based vs standard exercise for COPD
This clinical trial compares a chair-based exercise program with a standard exercise program for people with COPD. If you have COPD and get short of breath with activity, this study may help you find an exercise routine that works for you.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT05947422Recruiting
CT scan test for lung scarring assessment
This trial tests how well a CT scan and lung function tests can measure interstitial lung disease (ILD), which is long-term scarring or inflammation in the lungs. It may help doctors use these images and tests more accurately to track ILD.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–90 - NCT06201403Recruiting
COPD: Breathing Muscle Strength and Flexibility Study
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT05532566Recruiting
Tested oak tree allergy extracts for people with inhalant allergy
This trial studies how well standardized oak (Quercus ilex and Quercus robur) allergen extracts match your specific allergy. It may help refine allergy testing and treatment planning for people with oak-triggered rhinitis, eye symptoms, and/or asthma.
MadridAges 18–64 - NCT06217276Recruiting
Breathing muscle fatigue and leg oxygen in COPD
This study looks at how breathing muscle tiredness relates to oxygen levels in leg muscles for people with moderate-to-severe COPD. It may help patients understand their condition better.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT05738720Recruiting
Home breathing rehab to reduce COPD flare-ups and hospital visits
This trial tests whether a breathing and exercise program done at home can lower COPD flare-ups and the chance of needing hospital care. It may help people with more severe COPD manage breathlessness and stay stable.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT05384873Recruiting
Immunonutrition to improve immunotherapy in metastatic lung cancer
This trial studies whether adding special nutrition (oral immunonutrition supplements) can help immunotherapy work better in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Participants receive immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, and must be able to take oral supplements.
PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT04375904RecruitingPhase 2
Stereotactic radiation for central lung tumors
This trial tests a precise, high-dose radiation treatment aimed at central lung tumors. It may help people who cannot have lung surgery and whose tumors can be safely targeted near sensitive organs.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT07161908Recruiting
Remote oxygen monitoring for preterm infants with BPD
This study tests a way to monitor and adjust oxygen therapy from home for premature babies with a long-term lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The goal is to see if remote monitoring can improve oxygen management and reduce complications.
České Budějovice, Czech RepublicAges Up to 8 months - NCT07156994Recruiting
Voice study for Long COVID symptoms
This study uses voice recordings from the Long COVID Companion App to find patterns that could help identify and monitor Long COVID symptoms. It may help improve how we detect and track COVID-19-related health issues using just your voice.
StrassenAges 18 years+ - NCT07156227RecruitingPhase 1
Testing camonsertib with radiation for returning head and neck cancer
This study tests whether adding the drug camonsertib to radiation therapy can help people whose head and neck cancer has come back in a spot that was already treated with radiation. Camonsertib is an experimental drug that may help radiation work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06364176RecruitingPhase 2
Adding losartan to improve Trikafta response in CF
This study tests whether adding the blood pressure medication losartan can help the standard CF drug Trikafta work better by reducing inflammation. It's for people with CF who still have high sweat chloride levels despite taking Trikafta.
