Withdrawn study sought clues to breathing difficulties in severe obesity

NCT ID NCT04213911

Summary

This study aimed to better understand how severe obesity affects pressures inside the chest during breathing. Researchers planned to compare measurements from two small groups of people: those with severe obesity and those with a normal weight. The goal was to gather basic knowledge, not to test a treatment, by using a special breathing tube and CT scans.
