Sex differences in standing up after moon landing
Treatments studied
This NASA trial tests how men and women differ in standing up after landing on the moon. Volunteers receive a water pill (furosemide) to see how their blood pressure and heart respond during simulated lunar descent and ascent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must pass a special physical exam similar to a military flight physical.
- You cannot be allergic to furosemide (a water pill) or sulfa drugs.
- You must not take medications that could interact with furosemide, like aspirin, ibuprofen, antibiotics, or immune-suppressing drugs.
- You cannot have heart, blood vessel, or kidney disease, or Type 2 diabetes.
- If you can become pregnant, you will need a negative urine pregnancy test before joining.

This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
This study looks at how your kidneys handle salt and water when you're treated for acute heart failure in the hospital. Researchers want to understand which patients recover well from fluid buildup and which might need different treatment approaches.
This trial tests a method to guide how much fluid is removed after heart surgery using a urine salt test, to see if it helps patients recover better. If you are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two treatments for sudden heart failure symptoms like severe shortness of breath. It aims to see whether opening blood vessels or using a water pill works better to relieve congestion and improve breathing.
This trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
