This trial tests whether a non-invasive device that sends electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate the diaphragm can help people hospitalized with a severe COPD flare-up. The goal is to see if this technique improves diaphragm function and reduces the need for invasive mec…

This study looks at how allergy shots (subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy) affect immune markers in adults with allergic asthma. Researchers will measure changes in eosinophil cationic protein and sputum eosinophils over six months, along with asthma symptom scores. The goal is …

This trial investigates whether lactoferrin, a protein found in milk with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, can improve survival and reduce complications in critically ill adults in the intensive care unit. About 660 ICU patients will receive either lactoferrin plus…

This trial tests whether a program of breathing exercises—like diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lip breathing, and incentive spirometry—can improve lung function and ease breathlessness in people with chronic airway diseases such as COPD and asthma. Participants will undergo pulmo…

This study tested whether one-on-one training from a nurse could help people with asthma or COPD use their inhalers correctly. One hundred adults who already used inhalers took part. The goal was to see if the training improved their technique, knowledge, and how well they stuck …

This study investigates whether allergic sensitivity, known as atopy, is associated with more frequent exacerbations in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Researchers will measure markers of allergy, such as IgE levels and skin prick test responses, in 100 …

This completed study looked at 300 patients with pleural effusion—fluid buildup around the lungs—to find out what caused it. Researchers reviewed medical records to classify the fluid type and identify underlying conditions like heart failure, infection, or cancer. The goal was t…

This study looked at the lungs of 104 young Egyptian adults who had used e-cigarettes for at least six months. Researchers measured how well their lungs worked using a breathing test called spirometry. The goal was to see if e-cigarette use is linked to any changes in lung functi…
