Breathing and body awareness
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how a short period of faster breathing (hyperventilation) affects how you perceive your own body. This may help us understand the link between body signals and self-awareness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- You are in good general health
- You have normal vision (or wear glasses/contacts)

This trial tests if a short virtual reality experience can help reduce stress. It is for healthy people aged 18-35 who feel stressed and speak German.
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 study tests whether using an immersive virtual reality headset changes how hard you breathe during exercise on a stationary bike. It is for healthy adults aged 18–40 to explore if VR can make exercise feel easier.
This study explores why people with COPD experience shortness of breath at rest, during activity, and in virtual-reality scenarios. Researchers will also test whether expecting to feel better (placebo effect) actually helps reduce breathing difficulty.
This study tests how breathing changes (hyperventilation) might affect people with long-lasting low back pain. It may help researchers understand triggers or symptoms, and compare them to people who do not have back pain.
This research study examines how your brain activity and heart health relate to each other using virtual reality and sensors. The goal is to better understand consciousness—your awareness and alertness—and how it connects to cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) wellness.
