Lung sliding index for diagnosing lung conditions
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound-based measurement called the Lung Sliding Index to help tell different lung diseases apart. Researchers want to see if it can be a useful and simple tool for doctors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You either have a known lung condition or you are a healthy volunteer.
- You can agree to take part in the study by signing a consent form.
- You are able to have a lung ultrasound (a harmless scan using sound waves).
- You do not have a chest wall problem that would block the ultrasound.

This study looks at whether lung ultrasound results can help predict delirium and other outcomes in older adults admitted with breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand and manage your condition.
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
This study tests if ultrasound can help evaluate patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (a type of lung scarring). It aims to see if ultrasound is a useful tool for checking your condition.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and classify lung conditions that affect both the air sacs and airways, such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. By participating, you may help advance medical knowledge and better understand your own condition.
This trial checks how safe a lung biopsy (a small sample taken with a needle) is for people with interstitial lung disease, a condition that causes scarring in the lungs. The goal is to see if the biopsy can be done with fewer risks when guided by ultrasound.
This study uses a special ultrasound (pulsed echo Doppler) to measure how fast air moves out of your lungs during a breathing test. It aims to understand lung function better, which may help people with certain lung conditions.
