Lung transplant recovery study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are waiting in the hospital for a lung transplant surgery (one or both lungs).
- Your health is stable enough to get out of bed and move around with help.
- You have not had a prior organ transplant or chest surgery.
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems.

This study tests two types of breathing muscle training exercises in people who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type helps you breathe better and improves your daily living.
This study tests a new way of doing lung transplant surgery where you stay breathing on your own during the operation instead of using a breathing tube. The goal is to help you recover faster in the hospital after the transplant.
This trial tests a new anesthetic approach for very underweight patients having a lung transplant. The goal is to help you recover better by keeping you breathing on your own during surgery instead of using a breathing tube. If you qualify, it may offer a more gentle recovery.
This trial tests whether older patients can have lung transplant surgery while still breathing on their own, instead of using a breathing tube. It aims to improve recovery after the operation.
This trial is testing a new way of managing breathing during lung transplant surgery in patients who are very ill and need an urgent transplant. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own (instead of using a breathing tube) can help you recover better after surgery.
This study follows people with serious lung disease before and after lung transplant to understand how rejection happens and what warning signs to watch for. By studying your blood, tissue samples, and imaging, researchers hope to better predict and prevent transplant rejection.
