Newest Pneumothorax clinical trials

All recruiting trials (12)

• Predicting which newborns in a lower-level NICU will need extended breathing support

  This project will test whether analyzing a newborn's stomach fluid right after birth can help predict which babies born at 32+ weeks and attended by the neonatal resuscitation team will need breathing support for more than six hours.

  Recruiting Mayo Clinic · Rochester, Minnesota · NCT07344714

• Using a paravertebral block during thoracic (VATS/RATS) surgery to reduce postoperative complications

  This study will try an intraoperative paravertebral block to see if it lowers postoperative complications in adults having VATS or RATS for lung or mediastinal procedures.

  Recruiting Tongji Hospital · Wuhan, Hubei · NCT07211529

• Can newly trained clinicians use bedside lung ultrasound to detect a collapsed lung after heart surgery?

  This study will test whether medical trainees can use a bedside lung ultrasound to find a collapsed lung in adults after heart surgery.

  Recruiting Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre · Toronto, Ontario · NCT07018856

• Using the Lung Sliding Index to distinguish common lung diseases

  This project will test whether the Lung Sliding Index (LSI) measured by bedside ultrasound can tell apart various lung conditions in adults with lung disease and in healthy volunteers.

  Recruiting Assiut University · Asyut · NCT06983366

• 16F vs 24F chest drain after minimally invasive lobectomy or segmentectomy

  This study will test whether using a smaller 16F chest drain causes less postoperative pain than the standard 24F drain for adults having minimally invasive lobectomy or segmentectomy for lung cancer.

  Recruiting University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland · Basel · NCT06958848

• Using NSAIDs for pain management during pleurodesis procedures

  This study tests whether using a common pain reliever during pleurodesis can help reduce pain for patients with pneumothorax without causing more problems.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens · Amiens · NCT06731647

• LuAna AI help to detect problems on chest X-rays

  We will test whether using LuAna, an AI tool, helps doctors find chest X-ray problems more often in adults with respiratory symptoms.

  Recruiting Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein · Curitiba, Paraná · NCT06686251

• Gas analyzer for chest drains to detect pleural air leaks

  This study will test a small reusable gas analyzer that connects to chest drains to detect air leaks in adults undergoing thoracic surgery.

  Recruiting Lung Healing Technologies Inc · Evanston, Illinois · NCT06548386

• Using portable dynamic chest X-ray in the ICU

  This study is testing a new portable chest X-ray system in the ICU to see if it can give better pictures of lung movement and function compared to regular X-rays and CT scans for critically ill patients.

  Recruiting Brigham and Women's Hospital · Boston, Massachusetts · NCT06538376

• Lowering pneumothorax risk during CT-guided lung biopsy with small pleural fluid and targeted positioning

  This study will see if injecting a small amount of fluid into the pleural space and positioning the patient so the biopsy site is gravity-dependent can lower the chance of a pneumothorax in adults having CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy.

  Recruiting Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern · Bern · NCT06340178

• Genetic analysis of Birt Hogg-Dube syndrome and its link to kidney cancer

  This study is trying to find out the genetic reasons behind Birt Hogg-Dube syndrome and how it relates to kidney cancer in people who have this rare condition and their families.

  Recruiting National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) · Bethesda, Maryland · NCT00033137

• Understanding the disease process of lymphangioleiomyomatosis

  This study looks at how lymphangioleiomyomatosis affects the lungs in women and tries to find out what causes the disease to help develop better treatments.

  Recruiting National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) · Bethesda, Maryland · NCT00001465

NIH-funded research (2)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Preventing lung collapse after lung biopsy

  Testing ways to lower the chance of lung collapse (pneumothorax) after a percutaneous lung biopsy for people with suspicious lung nodules.

  NIH research VA Boston Health Care System · Boston, United States · NIH-11173729

• Finding ways to prevent lung collapse after lung biopsies

  This study is looking at ways to prevent a common issue called pneumothorax that can happen after a lung biopsy, so that patients getting this procedure can feel safer and have better outcomes.

Where are these trials running?

In 7 countries. The most sites are in United States (5 trials), Switzerland (2 trials), Egypt (1 trial), Canada (1 trial), China (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.

What phases are they in?

Phase 2: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.

How do I join one?

Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
