Testing lung stiffness and breathing function in healthy adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares a lung ultrasound method (shear-wave elastography) with breathing function tests to see how well they match. It may help researchers better understand how to measure lung health using imaging versus breathing tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (male or female).
- You must be generally healthy (not a person with known lung disease).
- You must not be pregnant.
- You must not have known lung conditions like COPD.
- You must not have asthma that requires regular (routine) treatment.

This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
This study uses a special ultrasound (called shear wave elastography) to measure how hard your breathing muscles work. It aims to see if this technique can help monitor COPD without invasive tests.
This trial looks back at people with lung tumors to see how well a special ultrasound measurement (shear-wave elastography) can identify or characterize tumors in the lungs. It may help improve noninvasive imaging in the future.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how the diaphragm moves and works. It aims to see if this method can measure diaphragm strength in healthy adults, which might help doctors understand breathing issues better.
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
This trial compares a new ultrasound breathing test (spirometry) to the standard one. If you have a chronic lung condition like COPD or asthma, it could help see if the new method is as good as the old one.
