Breathing and exercise tests for shortness of breath
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well two breathing tests work for people who have shortness of breath. You will do a breathing test and an exercise test to help doctors better understand your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are willing to do a breathing test
- You can speak and understand English
- You have been referred for a cardiopulmonary exercise test (a test where you exercise while your heart and lungs are monitored)
- You can give your own consent to take part

This trial uses a special breathing test to measure how your airways react. It helps doctors understand airway tone and reactivity, which may relate to conditions like asthma.
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
This study looks at a new, easy breathing test called oscillometry to see if it can help doctors understand how children's lungs react to exercise. It may help find breathing problems that standard tests miss.
This study compares two types of breathing exercises to see which one works better for reducing shortness of breath and improving lung function in people with mild to moderate COPD.
This study tests whether a simple breathing technique called box breathing, combined with short-term breathing exercises, can help reduce shortness of breath and improve daily functioning in people with mild COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
This study looks at how different breathing tests (spirometry and impulse oscillometry) and a simple shortness-of-breath scale relate to how well you respond to a quick-relief inhaler (bronchodilator). It aims to improve how we measure treatment effectiveness in people with asthma or COPD.
