Altitude exposure study for anxiety and low mood
Part of Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at what happens to people with anxiety and depressive symptoms after going to high altitude with low oxygen. It may help researchers understand whether altitude affects these symptoms and how it might be managed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how your heart’s right ventricle handles low oxygen (like at high altitude) in healthy adults. You will be exposed to a low-oxygen environment for a short time to see how your heart responds.
This study tests how your heart's right ventricle adapts when you breathe lower-oxygen air (like at high altitude). If you have well-controlled asthma, researchers want to see if your heart handles the challenge differently.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart responds to low oxygen levels in people who have had high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in the past. It will help researchers better understand right heart function.
This study looks at how being at moderate altitude (with lower oxygen) affects your memory for future tasks (like remembering to do something). If you're healthy and pass the screening, you would participate in a controlled test of your memory in a simulated altitude environment.
This study compares how well people sleep when they live at very high altitudes (above 2600 meters) compared to at sea level. By participating, you'll help researchers learn how high-altitude living affects sleep and breathing during the night.
This study compares sleep quality and breathing patterns in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who live at high altitude versus those at sea level. It aims to understand how altitude affects sleep in PAH, which could help improve care for patients living in high-altitude areas.
