After surgery, patients often recover in a special area called the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Patients may receive pain medications either during the surgery or afterward in the PACU. While these medications are important for controlling pain, some of them can slow down breathing. To ensure patients' breathing remains safe, the nurses in the PACU monitor respiratory rate (how many breaths a patient takes per minute) and oxygen levels using standard monitoring equipment. This is the usual way they check for breathing concerns. If these monitors show that a patient's breathing has slowed down too much, nurses may wake the patient up or stimulate them using their voice or gentle physical touch to encourage deeper breaths. What is this study about? This research is testing a new approach that uses an additional monitor called capnography. Capnography helps detect slowing or stopping of breathing by measuring the carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaled by patients. If the monitor shows slowed or stopped breathing (called apnea, lasting at least 10 seconds), this study will test using a technology called transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) to encourage normal breathing. How does TES work? TES provides a slight, annoying sensation on the patient's skin-enough to wake them up without causing pain. This has been used in other studies to safely restore breathing after surgery. In this study, the researchers are testing whether a new automated device can deliver TES when the capnography monitor detects breathing issues. The goal is to test the feasibility (can this system work in the PACU?) and acceptability (how do patients feel about this approach?) of this technology. Who can join this study? Adults aged 18 or older who received general anesthesia and medications (opioids) for pain control during or after surgery are eligible. Patients recovering from surgery in the PACU at Toronto General Hospital may be invited to participate. Why is this study important? The study aims to reduce the risk of opioid-related breathing problems after surgery, making recovery safer and more comfortable for patients.

ENA-001 for Slow Breathing

Overland Park, Kansas
This study is a Phase I clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles with single intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) doses of ENA-001.

Trial Details

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Phase 1
Age:18 - 55

18 Participants Needed

The proposed research is to develop and refine a multicomponent breathwork intervention, Guided Respiration Mindfulness Therapy, and to iteratively evaluate its feasibility, acceptability, and plausibility for clinically significant effects in people with chronic low back pain. This integrative breathwork intervention involves a 60-minute breathing session where the focus is to maintain a conscious connected breathing pattern (no pause between inhale and exhale), apply mindful acceptance to somatic sensations, and relax any physical tension. Each breathwork session will be delivered 1-on-1 in person by a trained facilitator. The treatment consists of 8 breathwork sessions, once per week for 8 weeks.

A multimodal educational intervention to target an oxygen saturation target range (SpO2 90-96%) will reduce ventilator length of stay and reduce occult hypoxemia by increased awareness and adherence to a designated oxygen saturation target range.

Why Other Patients Applied

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

IZ
Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

AG
Paralysis PatientAge: 50

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Slow Breathing clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Slow Breathing clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Slow Breathing trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Slow Breathing is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Slow Breathing medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Slow Breathing clinical trials?

Most recently, we added ENA-001 for Slow Breathing, Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation for Slow Breathing and Guided Respiration Mindfulness Therapy for Chronic Lower Back Pain to the Power online platform.
