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 tests how different mask designs affect breathing in people with COPD or OHS who use a nighttime breathing machine. You'll stay overnight in a sleep lab so the team can check which mask works best for you.
This study creates a database of information from people who have a sleep study at the Royal Free London sleep clinic. It helps researchers learn more about sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep).
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.
This trial uses a non-wearable device to assess sleep-disordered breathing in people with schizophrenia who are hospitalized. It aims to understand if this easy method can help monitor sleep issues.
