Breathing in space: a ventilation study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your lungs work during zero-gravity flights. You'll breathe into a device during special parabolic flights to help scientists understand ventilation in space.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a healthy adult between 18 and 65
- You need French social security or a European/Global Health Insurance Card
- You must have passed a medical exam similar to a private pilot's checkup
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You must attend a safety briefing before the flight

This trial tests whether starting non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) early in ALS helps people breathe easier and live better. If you've been diagnosed with ALS in the last 6 months and haven't used a breathing machine before, you may qualify.
This study uses MRI scans and a non-invasive breathing mask to see how the soft palate affects airflow. It looks at healthy adults to better understand upper airway function.
This study tests how exercise before breathing pure oxygen affects the body, helping to prepare astronauts for spacewalks. It may also offer insights into preventing decompression sickness in divers and aviators.
This study looks at how a short period of faster breathing (hyperventilation) affects how you perceive your own body. This may help us understand the link between body signals and self-awareness.
This study tests how different mask designs used at home or in the hospital affect breathing in healthy volunteers. It may help improve mask comfort and fit for people needing breathing support.
This study tests how resting healthy adults respond to breathing low levels of ozone (a common air pollutant) compared to clean air. Researchers will measure lung function and signs of inflammation in your blood or breath.
