The Bern Rehabilitation Registry for Chronic Conditions
This trial is creating a registry to study how people with chronic diseases benefit from rehabilitation programs. If you are an adult with a long-term health condition and have been referred to rehab, your data could help improve care for others.
Heiligenschwendi, Canton of BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06516601Recruiting
Severe community-acquired pneumonia observational study
This study looks at patients with severe pneumonia caught outside the hospital. Researchers will review medical records to learn more about how this serious infection progresses.
Trieste, TSAges 18 years+ - NCT06516848Recruiting
High-intensity breathing muscle training for asthma
This study tests whether a high-intensity training program for your breathing muscles can help control severe asthma symptoms. It is for people with non-allergic asthma who are already on treatment.
Istanbul, ÜsküdarAges 18–65 - NCT06518603RecruitingPhase 4
Caffeine for preventing apnea in preterm babies in Zambia
This trial tests whether giving caffeine citrate can help prevent breathing pauses (apnea) in preterm babies who are ready to stop their current caffeine treatment. It aims to see if a short course of caffeine can keep babies stable after they come off oxygen and are eating well.
Lusaka, Lusaka ProvinceAges birth–1 year - NCT06518655Recruiting
Can a breath test tell if a lung nodule is cancer?
This trial is testing a simple breath test to see if it can tell whether a lung nodule is cancer or not. If you have a lung nodule that will be removed by surgery, you may be able to help find out if breathing into a device can replace more invasive tests.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06519474Recruiting
Elastic chest wrap for COPD breathing and walking
This study tests if wearing an elastic chest wrap during exercise can help people with COPD breathe better and walk farther. You would do breathing and walking tests with and without the wrap to see if it makes a difference.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT06521502Recruiting
Studying inflammation in the heart and lungs in the ICU
This study collects blood samples from people in the ICU with sudden heart or lung problems caused by inflammation. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve future treatments.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06521944Recruiting
