Breathing problems after COVID-19 study
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have ongoing breathing issues after a COVID-19 infection. It tests a simple questionnaire to see if you have dysfunctional breathing (abnormal breathing patterns) and may help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have ongoing breathing problems since having COVID-19.
- Your breathing difficulty should be at least moderate (score 2 or higher on the mMRC scale, which measures shortness of breath during daily activities).
- Or your symptoms should be significant (score 23 or more on the Nijmegen questionnaire, which checks for signs of dysfunctional breathing).
- You must be able to complete the study measurements (like breathing tests).
- You cannot be currently doing breathing exercises as a treatment.

This study looks at how certain breathing patterns affect physical fitness in healthy adults. It may help you understand if your breathing habits influence your exercise ability.
This study looks at how different parts of your lungs breathe after you’ve had COVID that didn’t fully go away. It may help researchers understand why breathing symptoms can linger and how to better assess them using a CT scan.
This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises combined with a mild electrical current treatment (called KOTS currents) can help people with long COVID feel better. The goal is to see if this combination improves breathing and overall symptoms.
This study tests a program to help people with a breathing pattern disorder (dysfunctional breathing) improve how their muscles work to make breathing easier. It may be a good fit if you have had trouble breathing for at least 6 months and are not currently receiving treatment for this condition.
This study looks at people with lingering post-COVID symptoms, especially breathing and lung-related findings, using home monitoring and medical tests. It may help researchers understand what’s driving ongoing symptoms and identify patterns that could guide better care.
