Studying brain outcomes in patients with severe lung injury
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how severe lung injury (ARDS) affects brain and nerve function. It aims to find ways to improve recovery and quality of life for patients who have been in intensive care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for less than 48 hours
- You have been diagnosed with mild, moderate, or severe ARDS — a serious lung condition causing breathing difficulty
- You have a special monitoring tube in your esophagus (the food pipe) to measure lung pressure
- You are covered by health insurance (social security)
- You (or a family member if you are unable) agree to take part in the study

This study looks at a new way to check how well your lungs respond to the breathing machine. It uses a simple test to measure if your lungs can open up and stay open, which may help doctors adjust your ventilation better.
This study looks at blood and sputum samples from people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) to find clues that might predict how well they will recover. The goal is to improve care and outcomes for future patients.
This study compares two ways of measuring how well your lungs can open up, to help doctors find the best breathing machine settings for you. It aims to improve oxygen levels and breathing support in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at the real-world features, treatments, and outcomes of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. If you are on certain types of breathing support and meet the oxygen and lung scan criteria, your participation may help improve care for others with this condition.
This trial looks at how changes in lung pressure during breathing might affect recovery in patients with severe ARDS who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It could help doctors improve treatment for people with this serious lung condition.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
