Diagnosing breathlessness in primary care
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This project tests whether a tool called "Breathlessness Diagnostics in a Box" helps doctors find the cause of breathlessness more quickly. If you have unexplained or ongoing trouble breathing, this study may help improve your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have unexplained breathlessness, or your breathlessness keeps getting worse despite treatment for a known condition
- Your doctor is unsure about the cause of your breathlessness or thinks additional tests are needed
- You are not currently having a sudden severe flare-up of a known lung or heart condition
- You can understand and sign a consent form

This trial tests a digital program that combines breathing techniques and physical activity advice to help adults with moderate to severe asthma who feel breathless during daily life. It aims to reduce breathlessness and improve activity levels.
This study evaluates how physiotherapy can help adults with unexplained breathlessness or breathing pattern problems. Breathing pattern disorder happens when your breathing becomes inefficient or irregular without an obvious lung or heart disease—and physio may help retrain how you breathe.
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 tests a new way to measure breathing difficulty using a small device that checks exhaled carbon dioxide. It may help doctors better evaluate shortness of breath in ICU patients with certain serious illnesses.
This study looks closely at why children feel short of breath (“dyspnea”) and how breathing symptoms change over time. Your child may help doctors improve understanding and care for breathing problems like asthma or other lung conditions.
This trial tests an internet-based self-guided program to help adults with chronic breathlessness. It is designed for people who still feel short of breath despite treatment for conditions like COPD, lung disease, or cancer.
