Breathing device for preventing altitude sickness
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a breathing tool that creates positive pressure when you exhale can help prevent acute mountain sickness during a climb up Mount Aconcagua in Argentina. It may help people who plan to climb at very high altitudes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a healthy adult over 18
- Have previous experience climbing at extreme altitudes
- Be physically and technically ready to climb Mount Aconcagua in Argentina

This trial tests how acetazolamide affects your body's fluid levels at high altitude. It might help understand if the drug can prevent altitude sickness.
This trial investigates whether a medication usually used for migraines (fremanezumab) can help prevent acute mountain sickness in healthy adults who travel to high altitudes. You would receive an injection and be monitored for symptoms.
This study tests whether spending time at a moderate altitude (like a mountain resort) can help people with COPD breathe easier. It measures how open your airways are using a special test while you do a rehabilitation program.
This study tests personalized health check-up programs for people who live in low-altitude areas and plan to move to a high-altitude plateau. It aims to find the best ways to keep you healthy during and after the move.
This trial tests whether a mask that helps you breathe out (positive expiratory pressure) combined with a cough-assist machine (in-exsufflator) improves breathing and coughing in people with ALS who have bulbar symptoms like trouble speaking, swallowing, or drooling.
This study is for people living at high altitudes (above 2,500 meters) to understand how the pressure in the arteries of the lungs changes over time and how it affects health. It may help doctors predict and manage heart and lung problems that can occur in high-altitude residents.
