First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looks at whether CPAP, a machine that pushes air through a mask, can help people with large airway collapse (LAC) — a condition where the windpipe or main breathing tubes narrow or collapse. The study will involve 60 adults with LAC and aims to see if CPAP is acceptable and practical to use. It also gathers information to plan a larger trial. This is not a cure, but a way to ease symptoms like shortness of breath and cough.
