The Impact of Inhaled Furosemide and Perorally Administered Levodropropizine on Dyspnea in Patients With Respiratory Diseases
University Hospital Hradec Kralove
102 participants
Feb 27, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this monocentric double blinded cross over trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of inhaled furosemide in patients with pulmonary diseases and dyspnea. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * is inhaled furosemide safe and well tolerated? * is inhaled furosemide capable of dyspnea suppression and is there any additive effect of levodropropizine Participants will be given: * inhaled furosemide or placebo in double blinded cross over manner. Dyspnea severity and vital functions will be measured, adverse reactions monitored * all participants will receive levodropropizine open label. Dyspnea severity and vital functions will be measured, adverse reactions monitored

Interventions
Furosemide will be used to block C fibers in the lungs, thus lowering intensity of sensation of dyspnea.
Levodropropizine will be used to block C fibers in the airways, to evaluate if this double block of C fibers will have any effect on lowering intensity of dyspnea sensation
Placebo will be used as a comparator
