Study of outcomes after spontaneous collapsed lung
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows adults with a “spontaneous pneumothorax,” meaning a lung collapse that happens without trauma, to see what outcomes they experience. You may be followed during and after hospitalization, because your results can help doctors understand and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed spontaneous pneumothorax found on chest imaging while admitted or during your hospital stay.
- You are of Chinese ethnicity.
- You can understand the study and sign written informed consent.
- Your pneumothorax is not from an injury or a procedure (not traumatic or iatrogenic).
- Your lung collapse is not after lung surgery within the past month, and your lung is able to expand (not a “trapped” or non-expandable lung without air leak evidence).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to treat a first-time, spontaneous collapsed lung (pneumothorax): a small tube with a one-way valve versus removing air with a needle. It aims to see which approach works better and is easier to manage for people treated as outpatients.
This study is testing a way to predict serious air leaks (pneumothorax) after a lung needle biopsy. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors know who might need a chest tube.
This study tests whether sending patients home with monitoring after a first-time collapsed lung (pneumothorax) improves recovery and quality of life compared to staying in the hospital. It is for people with a large collapse who live close enough to the hospital.
This study compares simple observation versus standard drainage (chest tube) for treating a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) in otherwise healthy adults. It aims to see if observation works just as well as drainage to help the lung re-expand.
This trial looks at patients who have a spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung that happens without injury or medical procedure). It aims to understand their condition and outcomes.
This study compares two different times to remove the chest tube after surgery for a first-time collapsed lung. The goal is to find out if taking the tube out earlier is just as safe and effective as waiting longer.
