ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07790614Recruiting
Comparing two CT scan methods for identifying pulmonary fibrosis
This study compares two types of CT scans to see which one is better at identifying idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a specific type of interstitial lung disease. You may be able to join if you have been diagnosed with ILD and are being discussed by a team of specialists.

Augsburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07784517Recruiting
Breathing technique for arm performance in volleyball players
This study looks at how a breathing technique called diaphragmatic facilitation affects arm and upper body performance in volleyball players. It may help improve your game by enhancing shoulder and arm function.
IstanbulAges 18–30 - NCT07786103Recruiting
Breathing exercises to prevent complications from flu-like illness
This study tests a simple set of breathing exercises to help prevent complications from flu-like illness. If you are an older adult with a recent cold or flu, this program might help you recover better and avoid worse problems.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 60–80 - NCT07785999Recruiting
Wearable ring sensor for diagnosing sleep apnea in adults
This study tests whether a wearable ring sensor can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops during sleep) compared to the standard in-lab sleep test. If you have suspected sleep apnea and are generally healthy, this study might help you get a simpler and more convenient diagnosis.
Pantai Valley, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT07788534Recruiting
FeNO monitoring for children with asthma
This study compares asthma control in children who use a breathing test called FeNO to guide treatment versus a similar group that doesn't. It aims to see if FeNO monitoring helps improve asthma control.
Jeddah, Mecca RegionAges 6–14 - NCT07786870Recruiting
Understanding airway proteins in asthma
This study examines a protein called TSLP that may play a role in asthma inflammation. By looking at different versions of TSLP in your airway samples, researchers hope to learn more about asthma and potentially guide future treatments.
Warsaw, WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07790406Recruiting
Robotic Surgery for Early-Stage Lung Cancer
This study is testing a new robotic surgical system for removing lung cancer in its early stage. It aims to see if the technique is safe and effective for people with stage I non-small cell lung cancer who need a lobectomy.
Milan, MiAges Any age - NCT07789834Recruiting
Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea study
This study looks at how well an oral appliance (a mouthguard) works for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It uses a questionnaire to track your progress and makes sure the treatment is helping you sleep better.
Henderson, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT07786467Recruiting
Improving flu vaccine response with hands-on therapy in at-risk adults
This study tests whether a hands-on therapy called osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can improve the body's response to the flu vaccine. If you are an adult who is willing to get both the flu shot and OMT, this could help make the vaccine more effective for you.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07792044Enrolling by invitation
Pain relief after shoulder surgery
This study tests a numbing medicine injected near the shoulder to see if it gives better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery than the standard approach. It might help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Jiaxing, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07787117Recruiting
Comparing asthma treatments: switching to a combination inhaler vs adding a daily controller
This study compares two ways to treat asthma: switching from a rescue inhaler (albuterol) to a combination inhaler (albuterol plus budesonide), versus adding a daily controller medication (either a low-dose inhaled steroid or a leukotriene modifier) while continuing albuterol. It aims to see which approach works better for people with asthma who currently use only a rescue inhaler.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 18–99 - NCT07787130Recruiting
Testing a supplement for preventing colds
This trial tests whether a daily supplement called Immune X can help prevent colds in healthy adults. If you often get colds and are in good health, you might be able to join.
