MRI and breathing tests in people who vape
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special lung scan (MRI) and breathing tests to understand how vaping affects lung structure and function. It may help researchers learn what early lung changes happen after starting vaping, even if you don’t feel sick.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be able to sign an informed consent form before any study tests
- Be at least 16 years old (male or female)
- Have started vaping within the last 1 to 5 years and vape weekly
- Have either never smoked cigarettes, or are a former/current cigarette smoker (both groups may be included)
- Be able to complete breathing tests like spirometry and lung function measurements (plethysmography)

This study follows people who currently or used to smoke cannabis to see how cannabis use may change certain MRI scan signals in the brain over time. You may help researchers understand the effects of cannabis smoking and how brain imaging changes can be measured safely.
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
This study tests a new type of MRI scan to see how e-cigarettes affect your lungs. It's for young adults who vape nicotine regularly. The results may help doctors understand vaping-related lung damage.
This study tests a special MRI scan that uses a “hyperpolarized” gas to look at how well the lungs are working. It’s likely looking for safe imaging results and clear lung measurements in people without lung disease.
This study compares lung function and exercise capacity among different groups: people who vape, people who smoke cigarettes, and people who do neither. It aims to understand how vaping devices affect lungs over time.
This study uses brain imaging to better predict who might start smoking cigarettes and who might increase nicotine use among young adult e-cigarette (vaping) users. It may help researchers find early warning signals so support can be targeted sooner.
