High-flow nasal cannula for persistent breathlessness in ILD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a high-flow nasal cannula (a device that delivers warm, moist air through the nose) can help reduce ongoing shortness of breath in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who are already on long-term oxygen therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have interstitial lung disease (ILD)
- You have ongoing shortness of breath that limits your daily activities (mMRC score of 3 or more)
- You have been on long-term oxygen therapy for at least 3 months
- You are not a current smoker
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can read and understand questionnaires

This trial tests if adding high-flow oxygen therapy to your usual long-term oxygen therapy can help you breathe better. It is for people with COPD or ILD who use oxygen at home for at least 15 hours a day.
This study tests whether high-flow nasal therapy (a special oxygen delivery method) can ease severe shortness of breath in patients receiving palliative care. Palliative care focuses on comfort when curative treatment is no longer the goal.
This trial studies how well oxygen therapy works for people with long-term lung or heart conditions who have sudden breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to monitor breathing at home to improve care.
This study tests whether a special nasal breathing device (nasal high flow) can help people with COPD exercise longer and more comfortably. It compares the device to standard low-flow oxygen or no oxygen at all.
This trial tests two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen therapy—to see which works better for people with a sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring) who are in the ICU and need extra oxygen.
This study tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen (a gentle breathing support through the nose) can help people with a severe COPD flare-up. If you have high carbon dioxide and slightly acidic blood, this treatment might improve your breathing and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
