Testing a New Weight-Loss Medicine for Sleep Apnea
This study tests whether a new injectable medicine called NNC0487-0111 helps people with excess weight and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep) lose weight and improve their sleep apnea—without needing a CPAP machine. The goal is to see if better weight loss can reduce sleep apnea symptoms.

Predicting breathing tube removal success in ICU patients
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.

Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 40 years+ - NCT07573150Recruiting
Pupil Measurements to Predict Breathing Problems After Surgery in Children
This study tests whether measuring how a child's pupils (the dark circles in the eyes) respond to light can predict which children might have breathing problems after receiving pain medication during tonsil surgery. The goal is to help doctors catch and prevent serious breathing issues before they happen.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 3–17 - NCT07573683Recruiting
Breathing Exercises With Aerobic Activity for Early-Stage High Blood Pressure
This study tests whether combining special breathing techniques (coherent breathing) with aerobic exercise helps lower blood pressure and improve quality of life in people with stage 1 hypertension. You'll learn these techniques and perform them regularly to see if they work better together than exercise alone.
IslamabadAges 30–65 - NCT07574879RecruitingPhase 1
H. pylori Treatment Effects on COPD Symptoms
This study tests whether treating a stomach bacteria infection (H. pylori) can improve breathing and lung function in people with COPD. Researchers want to see if eliminating this bacteria helps reduce COPD symptoms.
Zagazig, ElsharkiaAges 40 years+ - NCT07576478Recruiting
Balloon Blowing Therapy for Obese Children
This trial tests whether blowing up balloons can help obese children breathe easier and feel better. The study measures changes in breathing, shortness of breath, and quality of life over the course of the treatment.
Peshawar, Khyber PakhtunkhwaAges 6–12 - NCT07576894Recruiting
How the Heart Responds to Exercise in COPD Patients
This study looks at how the right side of your heart responds when you exercise, in people with COPD (a chronic lung condition). The goal is to understand this response better and potentially improve treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40 years+ - NCT07577700Recruiting
Blood flow imaging study during pulmonary surgery
This study uses a special imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to measure how blood flows through your lungs during surgery for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The goal is to better understand how this imaging tool works and improve outcomes for patients having this procedure.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07578870Recruiting
Balloon Blowing and Breathing Exercises for Pneumonia in Children
This study tests whether balloon blowing and a breathing technique called bubble PEP can help children with pneumonia improve their oxygen levels and feel less short of breath. The goal is to see if these fun, simple exercises can be a helpful part of treatment.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT07579013Recruiting
Postural Drainage Techniques for Infants With Respiratory Distress
This study tests whether gentle positioning and chest techniques can help infants with respiratory distress syndrome (a breathing condition in newborns) breathe better and get more oxygen. Researchers will compare two approaches to see which helps most.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 1 month–2 months - NCT07579052Recruiting
Predicting When Severely Ill COPD Patients Can Stop Breathing Machines
This study tests a prediction tool called CLEAR to help doctors know when patients with severe COPD lung disease are ready to stop using breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU. The tool may help doctors make faster, safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
Asyut, Assuit EgyptAges 40 years+ - NCT07579871Recruiting
Sleep patterns and recovery after first stroke
This study looks at how sleep affects recovery in people who have had their first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand whether sleep quality influences how well patients regain function after stroke.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07581938Recruiting
Early Dental Screening for Sleep Problems in Kids
This study uses a smartphone app and a wearable device to check for early signs of sleep-disordered breathing—a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep—in children ages 8–13. The goal is to catch dental and jaw problems that might lead to sleep issues before they become serious.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 8–13 - NCT07582549RecruitingPhase 3
Treatment for children's persistent cough
This Finnish study tests whether two common medicines (a steroid inhaler and an antibiotic) can help children whose cough has lasted more than 4 weeks without an obvious cause. Researchers want to see if these treatments work better than doing nothing.
TampereAges 1–6 - NCT07582913Recruiting
Manual vs. Automatic Breathing Support During Surgery in Older Adults
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during anesthesia for surgery: one controlled by an anesthesiologist by hand, and one using an automatic machine. Researchers want to see which method works better and is safer for patients 65 and older.
