NCT ID NCT06367686
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new sensor placed inside the nose to measure carbon dioxide levels in 21 people with breathing conditions like COPD or obesity-related breathing problems. The goal was to see if the sensor is safe, easy to use, and gives accurate readings compared to standard methods. It's an early-stage study focused on gathering information, not on treating the disease.
