Diaphragm clinical trials
Below are recruiting diaphragm clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 56 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05883163Recruiting
Testing a neck sensor to help patients on a ventilator
This trial studies whether a device that uses a sensor and stimulation helps the diaphragm (breathing muscle) in certain adults who are newly placed on a breathing machine. It may help some patients avoid breathing muscle weakness while they recover.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 21 years+ - NCT06009731Recruiting
Diaphragm ultrasound during breathing trial
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves while you try breathing on your own. It may help doctors better understand when patients are ready to come off the breathing machine.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05945043Recruiting
Study breathing signals during fluid drain in pleural effusion
This trial looks at how a breathing control system (called neural respiratory drive) changes when doctors remove lung lining fluid using a thoracocentesis, chest drain, or an indwelling pleural catheter. It may help improve how safe breathing measurements are taken during these common procedures.
London, LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05856136RecruitingPhase 4
Study how opioid exposure affects diaphragm muscle function
This study looks at whether receiving opioids for pain during lower-leg surgery changes how well the diaphragm muscle (the main breathing muscle) works afterward. It compares breathing muscle function in people who do and do not have certain lung conditions.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05440851Recruiting
Testing different treatments for severe breathing failure in ICU
This platform trial studies which treatment works best for adults with sudden, severe breathing failure needing oxygen or a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help patients by matching them to the most appropriate treatment strategy and tracking outcomes to improve care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04937868Recruiting
Guiding CT scans for belly and pelvis injuries after blunt trauma
This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04031508Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Omega-3 in an IV for newborns with breathing circulation problems
This trial tests whether giving an omega-3 fat medicine through an IV (along with standard care) improves breathing and blood-flow problems in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and persistent pulmonary hypertension. It may help reduce strain on the lungs and heart by targeting inflammation and blood-vessel changes.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 1 hour–2 weeks

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diaphragm?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 56 recruiting diaphragm studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a diaphragm trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a diaphragm trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
