Tests inhalation volume effects on lung breathing in COPD
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how different inhalation volumes change breathing and uneven airflow in people with COPD. You may be asked to do lung breathing tests before and after a bronchodilator (a breathing-relief inhaler) to see what improves airflow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 40 years
- Have smoked at least 10 pack-years in your life
- Have COPD with lung test results that stay at or below 70% after a bronchodilator
- Have a clinical reason you need a bronchodilator breathing test
- Be able and willing to do lung function tests

This study tests how a bronchodilator (a medicine that opens airways) affects breathing and exercise in people with COPD. It aims to understand if it helps you breathe easier during physical activity.
This trial tests how well different breathing tests measure relief from shortness of breath in people with asthma or COPD. It may help doctors find better ways to check how well treatments are working.
This study tests whether a new approach can help relieve severe shortness of breath in people with COPD who are already on standard inhaler therapy. It may help you breathe easier and improve your daily life.
This trial tests a portable “positive pressure” breathing device in people with severe COPD to see how well it works and whether it’s safe. It may help if you have trouble breathing and meet the device and health requirements.
This study looks at different lung immune cell patterns and how they work in smokers who are not yet diagnosed with COPD or asthma. It may help researchers understand why some people are more likely to develop COPD, which could guide future prevention or early treatments.
This trial tests whether adding a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) to regular breathing exercises helps people with moderate to severe COPD breathe better. It is for adults between 35 and 50 who are otherwise healthy enough to exercise.
