Surgery for paralyzed diaphragm nerve
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at how patients feel and recover after surgery to fix the nerve that controls the diaphragm. It aims to learn about people's experiences to improve care for diaphragmatic paralysis.

This trial tests if robot-assisted surgery to tighten the paralyzed diaphragm muscle can help people with long-term breathing difficulty on one side. It focuses on those whose paralysis has lasted at least a year and is not due to other muscle or nerve diseases.
This trial studies a surgical technique to improve breathing and voice in people whose both vocal cords do not move. It’s meant for cases that have not improved on their own for at least 6 months, and it may help restore better movement and function.
This trial is studying whether surgery, instead of using a breathing machine, works better for people with one-sided diaphragm paralysis. It aims to improve breathing comfort and function in the right patients.
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can help the nerve that controls your diaphragm recover faster after heart surgery. It may help you breathe easier and heal better.
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the phrenic nerve (the nerve that controls your diaphragm) to help you breathe on your own sooner. It is for adults with ARDS who have been on a breathing machine for less than two days.
This trial tests a freezing technique applied to a nerve during minimally invasive chest wall surgery (Nuss procedure) to help reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to see if this approach helps children recover with less pain medication.
