Study Summary

This trial looks at whether measuring the pressure created by the diaphragm can predict how stiff or relaxed the diaphragm muscle is.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult men and women who are generally healthy. It's not suitable for pregnant individuals or those with known lung problems like COPD or asthma that needs regular treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing how well shear-wave elastography, a type of ultrasound, can measure diaphragm muscle function compared to traditional respiratory tests during various breathing maneuvers and nerve stimulation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Shear-wave elastography is non-invasive and typically has no side effects. However, some discomfort may occur from the pressure applied during the ultrasound procedure.
