Better ways to adjust CPAP therapy when it isn't working well

Stopping antibiotics early versus completing the full course
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics to children: stopping when symptoms feel better versus finishing all the prescribed doses. Researchers want to see if stopping early is safe and works just as well, which could help reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.

Testing Cough Sensitivity With a Handheld Inhaler Device
This study tests whether a handheld nebulizer (a device that turns liquid medicine into mist) can reliably measure how sensitive your cough reflex is. Researchers will have you inhale citric acid (a harmless substance similar to lemon juice) and record your cough response to see if this method works well.
Missoula, MontanaAges 18–89 - NCT07531771Recruiting
Breathing Exercises for Early-Stage COPD
This study tests whether two types of breathing exercises—pursed lip breathing (slowing your breath) and alternate nostril breathing—can improve lung function and quality of life in people with mild COPD. You'll learn and practice these techniques to see if they help you breathe better.
IslamabadAges 40–65 - NCT07528274RecruitingPhase 2
Microwave ablation with immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests combining microwave ablation (heat treatment of tumors) with two drugs—tislelizumab (an immune-boosting drug) and docetaxel (chemotherapy)—for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed after initial immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink tumors better than standard treatment alone.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07527117Recruiting
CT scan study for diagnosing sudden blood clots in lungs
This research study tests a special chest CT scan to help diagnose acute pulmonary embolism—a blood clot that suddenly blocks blood flow in your lungs. You may qualify if you're already getting a CT scan for suspected lung clots and meet basic health requirements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT07530757Recruiting
SuperCAP: An App Program to Help Post-COVID Brain Fog
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with long-COVID improve their thinking and daily activities. You'll use the app about 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, to work on cognitive skills and functioning.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–65 - NCT07529847Recruiting
Breathing Techniques to Help Asthma Control
This study compares two special breathing techniques—alternating which nostril you breathe through and a method called Buteyko breathing—to see which helps asthma patients breathe easier and improve lung function. You'll practice these techniques and we'll measure how well they work for you.
IslamabadAges 18–45 - NCT06529185Recruiting
Breathing device for COPD patients with leg pain
This trial tests if a breathing device (Breather) can help men with COPD who also have leg pain from blocked leg arteries (intermittent claudication) walk farther without pain. If you have both conditions, this study may offer a new way to improve your walking ability.
DokkiAges 50–60 - NCT06696300Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for chronic low back pain
This study tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can help reduce chronic low back pain. You will practice specific breathing exercises and see if they improve your pain and function.
Kırşehir, CenterAges 18–65 - NCT06753981Recruiting
Triple drug therapy for new PAH patients
This trial tests whether a combination of three medications works well and is safe for people newly diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) that is not low-risk. It aims to see if starting with triple therapy early can improve outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06756217Recruiting
PET scan to check early response to immunotherapy before lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-grazytracer) to see if it can predict early whether immunotherapy is working in people with lung cancer that can be surgically removed. If successful, this scan could help doctors tailor treatment sooner.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07519603Recruiting
Exercise program for older adults with COPD and frailty
This study tests whether a structured exercise and training program called VIVIFRAIL can help older adults with COPD feel stronger and more independent. You'll participate in guided physical activities designed to improve your strength and daily functioning.
Hanoi, HanoiAges 60 years+ - NCT07522203Recruiting
Heart Function Recovery After Balloon Angioplasty for Lung Blood Clots
This study looks at how a minimally invasive procedure called balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) helps patients with chronic blood clots in the lungs improve their heart function and overall recovery. Researchers will measure blood flow patterns in your arteries before and after the procedure to understand how well your heart recovers.
IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT07516379Recruiting
Understanding Lung Rejection After Transplant
This study follows people with serious lung disease before and after lung transplant to understand how rejection happens and what warning signs to watch for. By studying your blood, tissue samples, and imaging, researchers hope to better predict and prevent transplant rejection.
