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 breathing problems that are not caused by a disease might affect physical fitness. If you are a healthy adult who often feels short of breath or sighs a lot, participating could help you understand your breathing and overall fitness better.
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 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.
This trial studies how the lungs’ breathing (airflow) and blood flow may be off in people with long-COVID symptoms like tiredness, shortness of breath, or trouble exercising. It may help researchers understand what’s driving symptoms and what kinds of abnormalities could be targeted.
This study looks at how hard people with COVID-19 are working to breathe when they have serious breathing trouble but are not yet fully on a breathing machine. The results may help doctors better understand breathing support needs and improve care.
