New breathing tests could unlock secrets of shortness of breath
NCT ID NCT06554353
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 50 people with shortness of breath to see if a simple breathing test (oscillometry) can predict problems found during exercise testing. Participants will do both tests, and researchers will compare the results. The goal is to better understand what causes shortness of breath, not to provide a treatment.
