Understanding Breathlessness in Lung Disease
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a known lung condition (like COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, or pulmonary fibrosis) OR you are a healthy volunteer without lung, heart, or movement limitations
- If you have a lung condition, you experience ongoing breathlessness (rated as moderate or higher on a standard scale)
- You can speak and read English fluently
- You can attend two study visits in person
- You can abstain from smoking for 8 hours before testing

This trial tests an internet-based self-guided program to help adults with chronic breathlessness. It is designed for people who still feel short of breath despite treatment for conditions like COPD, lung disease, or cancer.
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.
This study tests a new portable device that measures how well your lungs work by having you breathe into a mouthpiece. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify different chronic lung conditions like COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, and others.
This trial tests a digital program that combines breathing techniques and physical activity advice to help adults with moderate to severe asthma who feel breathless during daily life. It aims to reduce breathlessness and improve activity levels.
This trial is studying people with chronic lung conditions, like COPD or asthma, to find treatable traits. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison, to better understand what makes these diseases different and how to personalize treatment.
This study uses a brain scan (fMRI) to learn how the brain processes shortness of breath in people with advanced heart failure, COPD, or lung cancer. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat breathlessness.
