Breathing exercises to improve lung function after neck spinal cord injury
This study tests whether special breathing exercises using a handheld device can help people recover lung strength after a recent cervical (neck-level) spinal cord injury. The exercises are done during in-patient rehabilitation and may help you breathe better and improve your overall recovery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–38 - NCT07641413Recruiting
Lung and heart health across decades in veterans
This study looks at how lungs and hearts work in healthy veterans over time. If you have no major health conditions, you may help researchers learn how these organs age naturally.

RSV Infection Study in Babies Under 2 Years
This study tracks how respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)—a common respiratory infection in babies—affects children under 24 months in Ho Chi Minh City. Researchers want to understand how often RSV happens, how severe it is, and how it impacts families, so they can better prepare healthcare services.

High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Weaning Protocols for Respiratory Failure
This trial compares two different approaches to gradually reducing high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (a breathing support treatment delivered through your nose) in patients with acute respiratory failure. The goal is to find the best way to safely stop this treatment and transition you to breathing on your own.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07639255Recruiting
Improving lung cancer screening in Kentucky
This study wants to see if a quality improvement program called QUILS can help healthcare workers find lung cancer earlier. It uses surveys, feedback, and interviews to improve how lung cancer screening is done.
Ashland, KentuckyAges 18–100 - NCT07638176Recruiting
Better breathing support during lung surgery
This study tests whether adjusting breathing machine settings during lung surgery improves oxygen levels and recovery. If you're having lung surgery, this trial may help doctors keep you safer during the procedure.
SeoulAges 19–100 - NCT07638735Enrolling by invitation
Greener asthma inhaler prescribing tool
This study tests a tool that helps doctors choose asthma inhalers that are better for the environment. It may help your clinic reduce its carbon footprint while keeping your patients' asthma well managed.
Toronto, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT06691399Recruiting
Mouth care to prevent pneumonia in ICU COPD patients
This study tests whether a special mouth-care routine can help prevent pneumonia (a serious lung infection) in people with COPD who are in the ICU and need breathing support. If you are in the ICU with a COPD flare-up and are using a noninvasive breathing mask or high-flow oxygen, you may be able to join.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06690385Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for people with COPD or emphysema
This trial offers a lung cancer screening program using a low-dose CT scan for people who have COPD or emphysema and a history of heavy smoking. The goal is to catch lung cancer early, when it's more treatable.
MadridAges 55–75 - NCT06269211RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) before surgery can help people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutated, PD-L1 positive) that can be removed. The goal is to see if it improves treatment results compared to surgery alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05933876Recruiting
Radiation study for limited spread cancer
This trial looks at whether giving radiation treatment to tumors in people with a limited number of metastases can help control the cancer. It is for adults with certain cancer types that have spread to specific organs, and who can manage daily activities with little or no help.

Lung Ultrasound to Predict Breathing Problems in Premature Babies
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
