Brain activity and breathing during MRI
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to the depth of your breaths during an MRI scan while you are under anesthesia. It may help doctors better understand breathing control during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a head MRI scan while under general anesthesia.
- You are over 18 years old.
- You do not have a history of stroke or a brain tumor in certain areas of the brain.
- You have never been diagnosed with dementia.
- You have never had brain surgery, a spinal cord injury, a vagotomy, or a phrenic nerve injury.

This study uses advanced MRI imaging and breathing tests to understand how healthy lungs work. Researchers are developing new ways to measure lung function that might help doctors diagnose lung disease earlier in the future.
This study uses a breathing challenge while you’re in an MRI to see how blood flow signals in the brain change. It may help researchers better understand how brain imaging signals respond to breathing and oxygen/carbon dioxide levels.
This early trial uses a special “breathing” MRI scan to create a detailed picture of how air moves in the lungs. It’s mainly a calibration study to set up the scan correctly, and you may help improve the test for future use.
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
This study looks at how the brain controls breathing in people with Parkinson's disease compared to healthy volunteers. It may help us understand breathing problems that can occur in Parkinson's.
This study looks at how well the brain uses oxygen during MRI with anesthesia. It tests two different anesthesia medicines to find the best way to keep children safe and comfortable during scans.
