Exercise with liquid oxygen in chronic lung disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares how well people with chronic lung diseases perform during exercise when breathing regular air versus when using low-flow liquid oxygen. It aims to see if using liquid oxygen during exercise can improve exercise ability and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have one of these conditions: pulmonary arterial hypertension, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, or COPD (with or without emphysema).
- Your oxygen level must drop by more than 3% during exercise (this is tested in a clinic).
- Your lung medications must have been stable for at least 14 days before starting.
- You must not need supplemental oxygen at rest (your resting oxygen level must not be severely low).

This study compares breathing normal air versus low-flow liquid oxygen during exercise to see if oxygen helps improve performance in people with conditions affecting the lungs or the blood vessels in the lungs. You would exercise while using a portable oxygen device and then without it to compare the effects.
This trial tests whether adding extra oxygen during a 6-minute walk test helps people with chronic lung disease breathe better. It is for people with COPD or interstitial lung disease who have low oxygen levels, either during exercise or all the time.
This study tests whether breathing extra oxygen during outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation helps people with COPD. Participants will have their oxygen levels checked during exercise to see if extra oxygen improves their rehab results.
This study is testing whether using portable oxygen during physical activity can help people with mild-to-moderate interstitial lung disease feel better and be more active. It is for people whose oxygen levels drop during exercise but are normal at rest.
This study looks at how brief drops in oxygen levels during sleep affect lung function, health, and survival in people with moderate COPD. Participants will do exercise tests and have their oxygen levels monitored to better understand the disease.
This study tests whether using portable oxygen during everyday activities helps people with certain lung diseases (like pulmonary fibrosis or COPD) who only experience low oxygen levels when moving around. Researchers want to see if a portable oxygen device improves how well participants can function and feel during daily life.
