Study of breathing treatment for EILO during exercise
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment approach for exercise-related breathing difficulty called EILO. It aims to help people whose breathing problems show up during peak exercise and who want ongoing follow-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have EILO (breathing problem during exercise) confirmed by a larynx score of 2 or higher at peak exercise
- Your breathing symptoms are bad enough that you want more treatment and follow-up
- Your breathing trouble is caused by EILO (not another breathing disorder like an uncontrolled condition)
- You can do repeated treadmill exercise tests and follow the testing schedule
- Your voice box/upper airway anatomy looks normal at rest
- You are at least 12 years old

This study looks at how the vocal cords move during exercise in young adults who have trouble breathing while active. It may help researchers understand why this happens and how to better diagnose and treat it.
This study tests whether a medication called ipratropium bromide helps people with exercise-induced laryngomalacia (EILO), a condition where the voice box narrows during exercise, making it hard to breathe. You would take the medication and then do an exercise test to see if it improves your breathing.
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique to guide breathing exercises can help clear up collapsed lung areas after major surgery. It may help you recover better and breathe more easily.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise called Lung Insufflation Capacity (LIC) training can help people with ALS maintain or improve their breathing muscle strength. Participants must be age 20 or older, have a confirmed ALS diagnosis, and not be using a breathing machine at the start of the training.
This study tests two breathing devices that help open the lungs and clear mucus. It uses a special monitor to see how well the lungs respond, which may help patients who need extra help breathing.
This study looks at breathing support sessions using a machine called MIE to help people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It may help reduce breathing complications for people who haven’t benefited from similar breathing sessions in the last year.
