CPAP for large airway collapse study
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if CPAP, a machine that helps keep your airways open while you sleep, can improve breathing and reduce flare-ups in people with large airway collapse. You may be eligible if you have this condition and have needed antibiotics or steroids in the past year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- You must have been diagnosed with large airway collapse, either by X-ray or a camera test (bronchoscopy)
- Your other breathing problems must be well controlled
- You must have had at least one course of antibiotics or steroid pills (prednisolone) for a lung flare-up in the last 12 months
- You cannot already use a CPAP machine, have sleep apnea, or be pregnant

This trial tests if CPAP (a mask that helps you breathe at night) can improve asthma control in people who have both severe uncontrolled asthma and sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). You should not have been hospitalized for asthma in the last month.
This study looks at whether people with difficult-to-treat asthma might also have obstructive sleep apnea. If you're on high-dose asthma treatments, this trial could help find out if sleep problems are making your asthma worse.
This study tests whether using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce acute COPD flare-ups in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help by improving breathing during sleep and lowering the chance of worsening lung symptoms.
This study tests whether giving CPAP (a machine that helps keep your airways open) right after surgery can improve breathing for people with severe obesity. If you are having surgery and have a high BMI, this could help you recover more comfortably.
This study looks at whether using CPAP (a breathing device that helps keep airways open) can improve how far you can walk in 6 minutes. It also checks how CPAP may change breathing and exercise test results in people with ECAC.
This trial tests if CPAP, a breathing machine that keeps airways open, helps adults with severe breathing problems and low oxygen levels. It is for people in Burkina Faso who need extra oxygen to breathe well.
