Ultrasound and breathing tests for lung disease patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the hospital for a lung disease flare-up or infection (but not COVID-19), or have stable COPD or emphysema.
- You can give written permission to be in the study.
- You do not have skin allergies, irritation, or any skin damage on the areas where sensors might be placed.
- You are not pregnant or using certain medical devices like a defibrillator or heart stimulator.
- You are not exposed to strong magnetic fields or electromagnetic disturbances.

This study tests if a lung ultrasound can detect early signs of lung disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help you if you have certain risk factors, like being male, older, or a smoker.
This study uses a lung wash (bronchoalveolar lavage) to look at the types of immune cells in the lungs of people with certain lung scarring diseases called interstitial lung diseases (ILD). It may help doctors better understand different ILD types and guide treatment.
This study tests if ultrasound can help evaluate patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring). It aims to see if ultrasound is a useful tool for checking your condition.
This trial uses a portable ultrasound at the bedside (called point-of-care lung ultrasound) to quickly examine the lungs of people who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see how well this test works for finding lung problems in the hospital or clinic.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
This trial compares a new ultrasound breathing test (spirometry) to the standard one. If you have a chronic lung condition like COPD or asthma, it could help see if the new method is as good as the old one.
