This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the nasal strip (relative to the placebo strip) on the nasal passages using anatomical MRI scans and to demonstrate the effect of the strip on breathing correlated cortical activity, using interoceptive fMRI task and analysis techniques derived from physiological data collected during scanning.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
