Treating people with a lung collapse (pneumothorax) without inserting a needle into the chest. Is it safe and effective?
This UK clinical trial is looking at whether a collapsed lung can heal safely on its own without needing a chest drain. Researchers want to see if simply resting and being monitored allows patients aged 16 to 50 to recover well at home, avoiding invasive hospital procedures.

Impact of Ambulatory Management for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax in the Emergency Department on Quality of Life
This study looks at treating a collapsed lung (primary spontaneous pneumothorax) at home for some patients, instead of in the hospital. Researchers want to see if this improves quality of life compared to standard hospital care and if it's an effective way to manage the condition.
