Testing a new portable breathing support device
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new portable device that helps people breathe without using a tube in the windpipe. It may be an option for older adults who need breathing support but are not in the hospital for a sudden illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are not currently hospitalized for an acute illness

This trial tests a portable device that delivers gentle air pressure to help you breathe easier. It is for people with severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) who want to see if this device can improve their breathing and daily life.
This study is testing a breathing device (called positive airway pressure, or PAP) in healthy volunteers to see how well it works and how comfortable it is. It may help researchers improve treatments for people with breathing problems during sleep.
This trial is testing whether a simple pressure device (called CPAP) delivered through a mask works better than regular oxygen therapy for people who have sudden breathing failure and low oxygen levels. CPAP helps keep your airways open and may improve your breathing faster.
This trial is testing a new breathing device that may be as accurate as standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. It could offer a simpler and quicker way to check your lung health.
This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
This study tests a portable handheld device that measures airway function to help diagnose asthma. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify asthma in people with breathing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
