Using entropy to measure sleep breathing in chronic lung disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special mathematical method called entropy to better understand sleep-disordered breathing in people with chronic respiratory disease. If you have a long-term lung condition, this research could help improve how sleep breathing problems are detected and managed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a chronic respiratory disease, with or without a known sleep breathing problem
- You are willing to wear portable devices while you sleep
- You can understand and sign a consent form

This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
This study measures how you breathe and how well oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of your lungs. It’s mainly a monitoring study to help researchers understand breathing patterns during a breathing test.
This study looks at how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
This study tests different mask designs to see which one helps people with COPD or OHS breathe better during overnight breathing support. It aims to find a more comfortable and effective mask for long-term use.
This study looks at patients admitted to the hospital with acute breathing issues or those with ongoing lung conditions. It aims to better understand these conditions and may help improve future care.
This study tests two wearable sensors that track how hard you breathe while you sleep. It may help diagnose sleep and breathing problems without needing a hospital visit.
