Breathing difficulty in ALS study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at breathing problems in people with ALS. If you have trouble breathing during activity, at rest, or when lying down, this study may help understand your symptoms better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with ALS (definite, probable, or laboratory-supported ALS).
- You have trouble breathing during activity, at rest, or when lying flat.
- Your breathing trouble is not caused by a heart or lung condition.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses ultrasound and electrical tests of breathing muscles and nerves to see if they can predict breathing failure in people with ALS. This could help doctors know when a patient might need breathing support.
This study uses a quick ultrasound test to check how well the breathing muscle (the diaphragm) works in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It may help doctors monitor breathing changes over time and guide care.
This study tests whether using a “pressure relaxer” (RLX) earlier can improve breathing problems caused by ALS-related weak breathing muscles. You may be placed by chance into the device group or a comparison group to see if lung function and comfort improve.
This study looks at breathing support sessions using a machine called MIE to help people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It may help reduce breathing complications for people who haven’t benefited from similar breathing sessions in the last year.
This study tests a new wearable device called SleepImage to see how well it detects breathing problems during sleep in people with ALS. The goal is to catch early signs of respiratory failure before they become serious, helping doctors decide when to start breathing support.
This study follows people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) over time. It may help researchers better understand ALS and track changes that could guide future treatments.
