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 (like a painless sound wave test) on the muscles between your ribs to see how hard your breathing muscles work. It aims to find a simpler way to check breathing effort in people with COPD and in healthy volunteers.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how stiff your diaphragm muscle is while you breathe. It aims to find out if this ultrasound measurement relates to the pressure your diaphragm generates, which could help understand breathing muscle function.
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 tests a special ultrasound method to measure stiffness in the lung lining (pleura) or fluid-related lesions. It may help doctors better tell what pleural problems look like, using a non-invasive scan.
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.
