Lung stimulation for hard-to-control asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that stimulates the lung to help people whose asthma is not controlled by standard treatments. It may offer a new option for those who still have symptoms despite using inhalers or biologic medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma by an asthma specialist for at least 1 year.
- Your asthma is not well controlled even with high-dose inhalers or biologic medications, and your Asthma Control Test score is 15 or less.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are able to tolerate a surgical procedure to implant the device.
- You have not smoked in the last 6 months and do not have a heavy smoking history.
- You do not have other serious lung diseases, heart conditions, or bleeding disorders.

This trial is testing if a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord (spinal cord stimulation) can help improve breathing in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may be a good option if your injury is above the T5 level and you have reduced lung function.
This trial tests a neuromodulation treatment to improve breathing in people living with a cervical spinal cord injury who have significant breathing problems. If you qualify, you would have regular weekly testing over many months to see whether breathing and breathing support needs improve.
This study tests whether stimulating nerves in the spine can help people with severe lung injury (ARDS) breathe without a ventilator sooner. It may help shorten the time you need a breathing machine in the ICU.
This study looks at whether a spinal cord stimulator can improve breathing and lung function in adults with a certain type of spinal cord injury. It may help people who have ongoing breathing weakness after their injury.
This trial tests a new device that uses gentle electrical stimulation to improve breathing during sleep. It is for people who have moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing and cannot use or do not get enough help from other treatments like CPAP.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation device for people with moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing who cannot use or tolerate standard treatments. It may help you breathe better during sleep.
