Testing nose pressure to measure breathing effort with oxygen therapy
This trial uses a small tube in your nose to measure how hard you are working to breathe while receiving different types of oxygen therapy. It aims to find out if this nose pressure test can replace a more invasive test, making monitoring easier for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to breathe on your own and not need a breathing machine.
- Your oxygen levels must be stable (above 90% saturation or a certain oxygen-to-blood ratio).
- Your heart rate and blood pressure must be in a safe range, and you are not on strong blood pressure medications.
- You must already have a small tube in your nose to measure breathing pressure, or be willing to have one placed.
- You cannot be pregnant or have certain nose, throat, or bleeding problems.

This study compares two ways of giving oxygen (high-flow through the nose vs. a T-piece) to help patients come off a breathing machine safely. It aims to see which method works better during a test of your ability to breathe on your own.
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
This study measures how hard you breathe using a gentle nasal pressure device in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors better understand breathing mechanics in IPF and guide future care.
This trial tests whether adjusting high flow oxygen therapy (which delivers warm, moist oxygen through the nose) based on a new, non-contact technology — a depth camera that measures lung volumes without touching you — can help improve breathing in people with low oxygen levels. It's for patients in respiratory distress who need oxygen but don't have chronic lung disease.
This study looks at how pressure readings from a breathing tube compare with whether non-invasive breathing support fails in people with sudden, severe low oxygen levels. It may help improve how clinicians spot who will need stronger breathing treatment sooner.
This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
