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 many children with asthma also have a condition called EILO (Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction), which can cause breathing problems during exercise. The goal is to better understand the link between asthma and EILO in teenagers.
This trial tests if a drug called ipratropium bromide can help people with exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), a condition where the voice box closes during exercise, making it hard to breathe. If you have EILO, you may be able to join to see if this treatment improves your breathing during exercise.
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 a non-invasive breathing technique to help clear the lungs of people with severe blunt chest trauma who are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this approach can improve recovery.
This trial studies whether special breathing recordings taken during assisted air “insufflation–exsufflation” can show how your larynx (voice box) responds. The goal is to use those signals to fine-tune the best treatment settings for people with neuromuscular conditions.
This study tests two breathing devices—one that uses positive pressure and one that uses high-frequency vibrations—to see which helps open up clogged or collapsed parts of the lung better. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is used to scan your lungs like a video while you breathe, to measure the results.
