Light-based muscle oxygen measurements in COPD with kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure muscle oxygen levels in people who have both COPD and chronic kidney disease. Researchers want to see if these measurements can help predict how the disease progresses, which could lead to better monitoring and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic lung disease that makes it hard to breathe).
- You also have chronic kidney disease (kidneys not working as well as they should).
- Your COPD has been stable for the past month (no hospital stays or flare-ups).
- You do not have other serious lung diseases (like asthma or lung scarring), active cancer, or severe heart problems.

This study looks at how breathing muscle tiredness relates to oxygen levels in leg muscles for people with moderate-to-severe COPD. It may help patients understand their condition better.
This study measures oxygen levels in your brain and leg muscles during exercise to understand how COPD affects them.
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
This study looks at signs (biomarkers) and different types of COPD in Chinese people. It aims to better understand COPD and pre-COPD, which may help with future treatments.
This study looks at how muscle oxygen levels and physical function change during exercise tests in people with COPD. It aims to better understand the body's response to activity and may help improve future care.
This study looks at how tired your muscles get during a controlled cycling exercise test in people who have COPD, and—if applicable—heart failure at the same time. It may help researchers understand exercise limits and how to better support you with these conditions.
