New ultrasound technique could change how we measure breathing muscle strength

NCT ID NCT04959526

First seen Mar 27, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study aims to see if a new ultrasound method (shear-wave elastography) can accurately measure the forces generated by the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle. Researchers will compare this technique to standard breathing tests in 24 healthy adults. The goal is to develop a simpler, non-invasive way to assess diaphragm function.
