How breathing feels affects how you breathe
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain senses your breathing and how that affects the way you breathe. It's for very active, healthy adults aged 18–40 who exercise intensely most days.

This study looks at how the temperature of the air you breathe affects your breathing control. You'll do some breathing tests in different temperatures to see how your body responds.
This trial tests whether a special gas mixture called heliox (helium and oxygen) can help control breathing during exercise. It is for healthy, active adults age 18–40 who exercise regularly and have no major health problems.
This study looks at how breathing problems that are not caused by a disease might affect physical fitness. If you are a healthy adult who often feels short of breath or sighs a lot, participating could help you understand your breathing and overall fitness better.
This study tests whether different breathing exercises can improve lung function and heart rate variability in healthy, inactive young adults. It may help you understand how simple breathing techniques can affect your breathing and heart health.
This study tests whether a breathing device training program can improve breathing and blood pressure. It may help people who have higher blood pressure and may feel out of breath, especially those who have weight-related breathing strain.
This study looks at how breathing affects decision-making. You will have an MRI scan while doing simple tasks. The goal is to understand how the brain connects breathing and choices.
