Study of oxygen side effects in otherwise healthy adults
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens in the body when oxygen levels are too high, to better understand the mechanism of oxygen toxicity. You may be eligible if you are a healthy, non-smoking adult without certain medical conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You do not smoke
- You are not currently pregnant (for people who can become pregnant)
- You do not have heart or breathing problems, including high blood pressure
- You do not have anemia or a blood disorder such as sickle cell disease or trait
- Your exercise capacity test results meet sex-specific targets (VO2 peak)

This trial studies how temporary low oxygen levels during sleep affect your breathing control. It may help researchers understand and treat sleep apnea better.
This trial studies how giving extra oxygen (hyperoxia) affects blood flow in the brain for patients on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if short bursts of higher oxygen levels are safe and how they change brain activity.
This study looks at how healthy people respond to exercise in low-oxygen conditions (like high altitude). It will help researchers understand the body’s normal reactions.
This study compares breathing normal air versus low-flow liquid oxygen during exercise to see if oxygen helps improve performance in people with conditions affecting the lungs or the blood vessels in the lungs. You would exercise while using a portable oxygen device and then without it to compare the effects.
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 trial tests whether breathing low-oxygen air (like at high altitude) combined with exercise can improve memory and brain function in healthy middle-aged adults. You would do short exercise sessions while breathing a special air mixture, and the study will measure changes in your thinking and brain activity.
