App-guided decisions for lung lining disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a decision-support app helps doctors better manage conditions affecting the pleura (the lining around your lungs)—like collapsed lung, fluid buildup, or infection. You'd be randomly assigned to use the app approach or standard care, and the study tracks how well each works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of spontaneous pneumothorax (collapsed lung), pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs), or pleural infection (infection of the lung lining)
- Your condition was not caused by trauma or injury (including procedures)
- You do not have hemothorax (blood around the lungs)
- You can be enrolled at Zealand University Hospital or a participating center in Denmark

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares using a special camera to look inside your chest (medical thoracoscopy) with standard care to treat infections in the fluid around the lungs. It aims to see if this procedure helps clear the infection better, possibly reducing the need for more invasive surgery or a longer hospital stay.
This trial tests two combinations of medicines for people with infected fluid around the lung that isn't draining well through a chest tube. The goal is to see which combination works better to clear the infection and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a new method called 'air entrainment' (adding air during drainage) works better than standard drainage for people with a lung that doesn't fully expand. If you have persistent fluid buildup around the lung and are scheduled for drainage, you may be able to join.
This trial looks at how a breathing control system (called neural respiratory drive) changes when doctors remove lung lining fluid using a thoracocentesis, chest drain, or an indwelling pleural catheter. It may help improve how safe breathing measurements are taken during these common procedures.
This study compares two ways of looking inside the chest to diagnose the cause of fluid buildup around the lung. Both use a thin, flexible tube with a camera, but one also lets the doctor take a biopsy (tissue sample) at the same time.
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help spot lung inflammation from radiation therapy. Healthy volunteers will use the app to help researchers fine-tune it before it's tested in patients.
