Breathing test results in asthma and COPD
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests how well different breathing tests measure relief from shortness of breath in people with asthma or COPD. It may help doctors find better ways to check how well treatments are working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a breathing test showing that your FEV1/FVC ratio is less than 0.7.
- You have shortness of breath you rate at least 10 out of 100.
- You have a doctor's diagnosis of asthma, COPD, or both.
- If you have asthma, you have smoked less than 10 pack-years total.
- If you have COPD, you have smoked 10 pack-years or more.

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 study tests how a bronchodilator (a medicine that opens airways) affects breathing and exercise in people with COPD. It aims to understand if it helps you breathe easier during physical activity.
This study tests whether a new approach can help relieve severe shortness of breath in people with COPD who are already on standard inhaler therapy. It may help you breathe easier and improve your daily life.
This study looks at how different inhalation volumes change breathing and uneven airflow in people with COPD. You may be asked to do lung breathing tests before and after a bronchodilator (a breathing-relief inhaler) to see what improves airflow.
This study tests a new portable device that measures how well your lungs work by having you breathe into a mouthpiece. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify different chronic lung conditions like COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, and others.
This study aims to find people with undiagnosed asthma or COPD by using a simple questionnaire and a breathing test. If you have symptoms like cough or wheeze but no prior diagnosis, you may be able to join and get early treatment.
