Testing leftover fluid from lymph node biopsies to find lung cancer
This trial is for people who are scheduled for a lung cancer biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) because doctors suspect non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has spread to lymph nodes. It will test leftover fluid from the biopsy to see if it improves cancer detection. If your biopsy is negative but you still need surgery to remove lymph nodes, you can help us learn more about this new test.

Electroacupuncture plus microneedle for allergic rhinitis
This trial tests a 4-week treatment of electroacupuncture combined with microneedle knife for people with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis. It may help reduce symptoms without relying on standard allergy medications.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06890572Recruiting
Air purifiers for allergy symptoms relief
This study tests if using an air purifier at home can help reduce allergy symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose. It is for people with persistent moderate-to-severe allergic rhinitis caused by indoor allergens like dust mites or pet dander.
SeoulAges 19–60 - NCT06890676Recruiting
Dental care in nursing homes to prevent infections and improve health
This study tests whether bringing dental care to nursing home residents can reduce mouth infections, pneumonia, and help control blood sugar in people with diabetes. If you live in a nursing home and are 60 or older, you may be able to join.
Jefferson City, MissouriAges 60–100 - NCT06890767Recruiting
Wearable monitoring for COPD patients in the hospital
This study tests whether using a wearable device (like a sensor or smartwatch) can help doctors check on COPD patients while they are in the hospital for a bad flare-up. The goal is to see if remote monitoring can make care better and help you get home sooner.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06891183Recruiting
Heat therapy for lung tumors
This trial uses heat, delivered through a needle, to destroy small lung tumors. It might be an option for people who cannot have surgery due to other health problems.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT06891755Recruiting
Lung deflation procedure for severe emphysema
This study tests a bronchoscopic treatment to release trapped air in severely hyperinflated lungs caused by emphysema. It may help you breathe easier if you have advanced COPD and meet specific lung function and imaging criteria.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–84 - NCT06892197RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two steroids for severe pneumonia
This trial compares two common steroid medicines, hydrocortisone and prednisolone, to see which works better for people with severe community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to find the best treatment to help you recover faster.
