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.

- 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

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 tests a digital program that combines breathing and physical activity training for people with asthma who get short of breath easily. The goal is to help you feel less breathless and be more active in daily life.
This study looks at people with asthma or COPD to better understand the disease and how it affects them. It may help improve future treatments.
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.
This trial looks at how long-term health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure might affect breathing problems. The goal is to better understand and help people with both issues.
