Tests breathing effort using a nasal pressure sensor in IPF
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures how hard you breathe using a gentle nasal pressure device in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors better understand breathing mechanics in IPF and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with a UIP pattern
- You need a chest CT scan (HRCT) for medical evaluation
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are not pregnant (if you could become pregnant, this is important)
- You can understand and sign the consent form
- You do not have COPD, a neuromuscular disease, or a recent acute worsening of IPF

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using lung-pressure measurements to adjust ventilator PEEP (a breathing-support setting that keeps airways open) can help people with pulmonary fibrosis who are on a breathing machine for acute respiratory failure. It may improve breathing comfort and oxygenation by finding the best PEEP level for you.
This study measures how well the small airways in your lungs work if you have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It aims to find better ways to assess the disease and could lead to improved care.
This study looks at how pressure readings from a breathing tube compare with whether non-invasive breathing support fails in people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It may help improve how clinicians spot who will need stronger breathing treatment sooner.
This study measures how hard you breathe through a simple pressure sensor placed near the nose while doctors reduce and remove a breathing machine. It aims to see whether this breathing effort reading can predict your recovery outcomes.
This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
This trial uses a small tube in your nose to measure how hard you are working to breathe while receiving different types of oxygen therapy. It aims to find out if this nose pressure test can replace a more invasive test, making monitoring easier for you.
