Ultrasound vs. standard breathing test for lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares a new ultrasound breathing test (spirometry) to the standard one. If you have a chronic lung condition like COPD or asthma, it could help see if the new method is as good as the old one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 80 years old
- Have a long-term lung condition (like COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, or interstitial lung disease)
- Be willing to use the test device and understand how it works
- Be medically stable and able to give your okay (informed consent)
- Not be pregnant or think you might be pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how different breathing tests (spirometry and impulse oscillometry) and a simple shortness-of-breath scale relate to how well you respond to a quick-relief inhaler (bronchodilator). It aims to improve how we measure treatment effectiveness in people with asthma or COPD.
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing muscles and overall muscle health. It uses simple tests like breathing tests and ultrasound to see how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) is working, which may help doctors better understand and manage COPD.
This trial studies how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) works during a severe COPD flare, using an ultrasound scan. It may help doctors better assess breathing muscle performance when COPD symptoms suddenly worsen.
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 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.
