CT scan study for breathing changes after COVID recovery
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how different parts of your lungs breathe after you’ve had COVID that didn’t fully go away. It may help researchers understand why breathing symptoms can linger and how to better assess them using a CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (over 18 years old).
- You are being scheduled for a chest CT scan because post-COVID symptoms are suspected.
- You can give informed consent to join the study.
- You should not have had recent trauma or unstable injuries to your spine or fractures.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 50 or under.
- You must be able to stay still during scanning (no uncontrolled body movements).
- You should not have a pacemaker.

This trial tests an artificial intelligence tool that helps doctors identify lung changes caused by viral pneumonia, like COVID-19, on CT scans. It may lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis for patients.
This study looks at people who have ongoing breathing issues after a COVID-19 infection. It tests a simple questionnaire to see if you have dysfunctional breathing (abnormal breathing patterns) and may help guide treatment.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises combined with a mild electrical current treatment (called KOTS currents) can help people with long COVID feel better. The goal is to see if this combination improves breathing and overall symptoms.
This study uses a heart MRI to look for leftover (healing) changes in heart tissue after COVID-19. It may help researchers better understand what ongoing heart effects can happen after infection.
This study uses a special imaging test called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to look at how well the lungs work in people with lung diseases like COPD, asthma, pneumonia, or long-term effects from COVID-19. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare results.
This trial studies how the lungs’ breathing (airflow) and blood flow may be off in people with long-COVID symptoms like tiredness, shortness of breath, or trouble exercising. It may help researchers understand what’s driving symptoms and what kinds of abnormalities could be targeted.
