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

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 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 study looks at how well people with pulmonary fibrosis can breathe in and aims to see if their breathing flow rate is linked to their condition. It may help doctors understand more about the disease and plan better care.
This study looks at how well your lungs and breathing muscles work during exercise. It aims to help doctors better understand and support people with IPF.
