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 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.
This trial tests if using an ultrasound to look at the diaphragm can help doctors decide when to take COPD patients off a breathing machine. It may help make weaning safer and more successful.
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 compares breathing tests, ultrasound of the diaphragm, and muscle mass in healthy people and people with stable COPD. It aims to better understand how COPD affects the diaphragm and overall muscle health.
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 a new breathing device to standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. If you have been referred for breathing tests because your doctor suspects asthma or COPD, you may be able to join.
