Testing nose pressure to measure breathing effort with oxygen therapy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 through a simple pressure sensor placed near the nose while doctors reduce and remove a breathing machine. It aims to see whether this breathing effort reading can predict your recovery outcomes.
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 high-flow oxygen therapy (given through the nose) can help people in the emergency room whose oxygen levels are low due to a lung infection or other lung problem, without needing a breathing tube right away. It compares this to standard oxygen therapy through a mask.
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.
