New breathing device test for asthma and COPD
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new breathing device that may be as accurate as standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. It could offer a simpler and quicker way to check your lung health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been referred for breathing tests because a doctor suspects you have asthma or COPD.
- You must be able to give informed consent.
- You should be well enough to participate and not acutely unwell.
- You must be able to breathe through your mouth (for example, no tracheostomy).

This study compares advanced breathing tests with the standard ones to find airway disease like COPD. You may be asked to do extra tests to see if the new methods work better in community and hospital settings.
This study tests a portable device that measures how well your lungs work by sending gentle sound waves or pulses through them. It aims to see if this new device can accurately detect and differentiate various chronic lung conditions, potentially offering a simpler and more accessible way to monitor respiratory health.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This trial tests a portable device that delivers gentle air pressure to help you breathe easier. It is for people with severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) who want to see if this device can improve their breathing and daily life.
This study tests a new way to spot early signs of blocked airways in people with COPD during a routine breathing test. The goal is to catch problems sooner and help guide treatment.
This study tests a portable handheld device that measures airway function to help diagnose asthma. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify asthma in people with breathing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
