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 a simple ultrasound of the lungs can help doctors predict if older patients with breathing problems might become confused (delirium) during their hospital stay. Being part of this study may help improve care for older people in the hospital.
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 uses a special 3D ultrasound technique to check lung problems. It aims to see if this newer imaging method can improve how lung conditions are evaluated. This might lead to more accurate results without extra radiation.
This study tests a lung biopsy method that uses ultrasound to guide a needle through the chest wall to take a small tissue sample. The goal is to see if it's safe for people with diffuse interstitial lung disease, which may help doctors get a more accurate diagnosis.
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.
