Recruiting studies
- NCT06776939Recruiting
High-flow oxygen through trach tube to help weaning from a ventilator
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen delivered through a tracheostomy tube can make mucus less sticky and reduce breathing effort while you are being taken off a ventilator. It could help you breathe easier during weaning.

Adaptive trial for severe pneumonia care in intensive care
This study tests ways to improve treatment for adults with severe pneumonia that lands them in the ICU, adjusting the plan as results come in. It may help your care team find better treatments for lung infection and breathing/heart support needs.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06024993Recruiting
Studying dead space in breathing machines during surgery
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18–70 - NCT06236685Enrolling by invitation

Breathing machine use during surgery
This study looks at how a breathing machine is used during surgery. It is for adults who need help breathing while under general anesthesia for their operation.
Alessandria, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07687303Recruiting
Ventilator modes and stomach tube tolerance in ICU patients
This study looks at how different ventilator settings affect pressure in the belly and how well patients tolerate a feeding tube. It may help doctors choose the best ventilator mode for you.
DamanhūrAges 18–60 - NCT07098611Recruiting
New tool to predict readiness for breathing tube removal
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.
Punta ArenasAges 18–89 - NCT06584604Recruiting
Calibrating esophageal balloon for breathing machine patients
This trial is testing how to calibrate an esophageal balloon (a thin tube that measures pressure in your chest) for people on a breathing machine. If you are already sedated and have this tube in place, participating may help doctors get more accurate readings to improve your breathing support.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07455214Recruiting
Heart rate variability and breathing trial success in ventilated patients
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
New Taipei CityAges 18–85 - NCT05098717Recruiting
PEEP settings guided by lung pressure in pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests whether using lung-pressure measurements to adjust ventilator PEEP (a breathing-support setting that keeps airways open) can help people with pulmonary fibrosis who are on a breathing machine for acute respiratory failure. It may improve breathing comfort and oxygenation by finding the best PEEP level for you.
ModenaAges 18–90 - NCT06609577Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diaphragm pacing for patients on ventilators
This trial tests a personalized pacing device that uses ultrasound to help your diaphragm muscle work better while you are on a breathing machine. It may help you breathe on your own sooner and improve your recovery.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–95 - NCT07670494Recruiting
Comparing breathing machine settings during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06805357Recruiting
Lung opening during chest therapy on a breathing machine
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
CréteilAges 18–100 - NCT06464224Recruiting
Breathing effort patterns in patients coming off the ventilator
This study observes how your breathing effort changes as doctors try to remove you from the breathing machine (ventilator). It helps understand why some patients have trouble breathing on their own after being on the ventilator.
Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT07177183Recruiting
Low creatinine as a sign of longer breathing tube use
This study looks at whether low blood creatinine levels can help predict which patients will need a breathing machine for a long time or have trouble coming off it. If you are under 18 and in a post-ICU care unit, you may be able to join.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT05744310Recruiting
Long-term ventilation support and quality of life in ALS
This study looks at how long-term breathing support (a ventilation device used over time) affects quality of life for people with ALS and their families. It also asks family members and children about day-to-day well-being during this treatment period.
Bodø, NordlandAges 8 years+ - NCT05492344Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided breathing support for severe lung failure
This study tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT07467265Recruiting
Testing a breathing test to safely remove ventilators
This study is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 22 years+ - NCT06683781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Buenos AiresAges 18–100 - NCT07093125Recruiting
Rehabilitation for ICU patients on a breathing machine
This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
Genova, ItalyAges 16–100 - NCT07130123Recruiting
Endotracheal suction during extubation in the ICU
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
Orléans, LoiretAges 18 years+ - NCT07205952Recruiting
Detecting breathing difficulty in ventilated patients
This study looks at whether a computer system can automatically detect when a patient on a breathing machine (ventilator) is having trouble breathing. It may help doctors respond faster to the patient's needs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mechanical ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 267 recruiting mechanical ventilation 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 mechanical ventilation 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 mechanical ventilation 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.
