Salivary cortisol test for adrenal health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is building a reference range for a simple saliva test that measures cortisol, a hormone linked to stress and adrenal function. It may help diagnose conditions like Cushing's syndrome or adrenal insufficiency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must not have used corticosteroid medications in the last 6 weeks.
- You must not have a current infection or fever.
- You must not have severe liver or kidney problems.

This study checks hormone levels in saliva and blood using a precise test to better understand how the body balances steroids in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a condition that affects hormone production.
This study tests whether updated cortisol test numbers better identify adrenal insufficiency, a hormone condition where your body doesn’t make enough stress hormone. It may help doctors confirm the diagnosis and choose safer next steps for treatment.
This study tests a new wearable biosensor that measures steroid hormone levels in your skin fluid. It may help doctors better manage adrenal conditions by continuously monitoring cortisol and aldosterone without blood draws.
This study follows adults with a new adrenal diagnosis to learn how adrenal diseases behave over time. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care.
This trial studies how well a desmopressin stimulation test works to diagnose ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome. It compares results from people with possible or recurrent Cushing syndrome and healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether adding supplemental hydrocortisone during stressful events can prevent problems in people who develop adrenal insufficiency from long-term prednisolone. It is meant to see if “stress dosing” is safer and helps the body respond to stress.
