Personalized oxygen and support for cancer patients with shortness of breath
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized oxygen and supportive care plan for cancer patients who are hospitalized and have shortness of breath at rest. It aims to find better ways to manage this symptom and improve comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a brief behavioral program to help people with advanced lung cancer or mesothelioma who feel short of breath. The program may teach simple techniques to manage breathlessness and improve daily comfort.
This study tests a step-by-step program to help people with lung cancer cope with shortness of breath. It aims to improve your breathing comfort and quality of life.
This trial studies a mask-based breathing treatment (noninvasive ventilation) for people with cancer and serious breathing trouble, to see if it can prevent the need for intubation (putting a breathing tube in). If you qualify, the goal is to help you breathe better without invasive airway support when possible.
This trial tests a smart oxygen system that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for people with COPD who are in the hospital using a nasal high-flow device. It may help keep your oxygen levels stable without needing constant adjustments.
This trial tests if using a simple breathing exercise device (called an incentive spirometer) during chemo and radiation for advanced lung cancer can help improve breathing outcomes and overall recovery.
This trial tests whether one-on-one guidance from a sports-health specialist can improve your well-being if you have a chronic lung condition like asthma, COPD, or sleep apnea and are already taking part in a lung rehabilitation program.
