Smart breathing tests for airway disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares advanced breathing tests with the standard ones to find airway disease like COPD. You may be asked to do extra tests to see if the new methods work better in community and hospital settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been referred for breathing problems to a clinic or hospital (but you don't already have a COPD diagnosis)
- You are able to give written consent and follow the study steps
- You have not had certain surgeries or serious heart or lung events in the past 6 weeks
- You have not had a chest infection or other acute illness recently

This trial is testing a new breathing device that may be as accurate as standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. It could offer a simpler and quicker way to check your lung health.
This study is developing a simple breathing test to check how tobacco, cannabis, cocaine, opioids, or alcohol may affect your lungs. It could help you understand your lung health and guide future care.
This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
This study tests a new way to spot early signs of blocked airways in people with COPD during a routine breathing test. The goal is to catch problems sooner and help guide treatment.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This study measures how you breathe and how well oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of your lungs. It’s mainly a monitoring study to help researchers understand breathing patterns during a breathing test.
