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 trial tests a special way of breathing during lung transplant surgery for people aged 70 and older. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own during the procedure leads to a faster and smoother recovery.
This trial studies a new way to manage breathing during lung transplant surgery for people who are severely underweight. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own (instead of using a breathing machine) helps you recover faster after surgery.
This study tests a new anesthesia approach that avoids a breathing tube during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if it helps patients wake up faster and spend less time in the hospital.
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.
This study tests a new approach during rescue lung transplant surgery where the patient breathes on their own instead of being put on a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to see if this helps patients recover faster after surgery.
