Recruiting studies
- NCT07071935RecruitingPhase 2
Early ventilation study for newly diagnosed ALS
This trial tests whether starting non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) early in ALS helps people breathe easier and live better. If you've been diagnosed with ALS in the last 6 months and haven't used a breathing machine before, you may qualify.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06466980Recruiting
Study of ventilator-related events after cardiac arrest
This study looks at lung-related problems that can happen when someone is on a breathing machine after surviving a cardiac arrest. If you qualify, researchers will track your recovery to better understand how to prevent these complications.
Corbeil-EssonnesAges 18 years+ - NCT07630662Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Function and Ventilator Weaning Success
This study looks at whether testing the strength and function of your breathing muscles (diaphragm and chest wall muscles) can predict whether you're ready to come off a ventilator (breathing machine). The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about when patients are ready to breathe on their own.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07568418Recruiting
Skin Response Monitoring in Ventilated Premature Babies
This study measures how a premature baby's skin responds to stress while on a breathing machine. Researchers want to understand if skin conductance (electrical activity of the skin) is a good way to detect pain and discomfort in ventilated babies.
Uppsala, UpplandAges 5 months+ - NCT06491017Recruiting
Better airway clearance for ventilated patients
This trial tests if a special machine (mechanical insufflation-exsufflation) can help remove thick mucus from the lungs of patients who are on a breathing tube and ventilator. The goal is to see if optimized settings clear more mucus than standard care.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07624786Recruiting
Study of How Breathing Tubes and Patients Work Together
This study looks at recordings from patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital to understand when the machine and patient's breathing don't sync up, and whether this affects how well patients do. Researchers will review your medical records and machine data that were already collected during your hospital stay.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06425354Recruiting
Can breathing machine energy predict lung inflammation?
This study looks at a new measure called 'mechanical power' (the energy from the breathing machine) to see if it can predict inflammation in the lungs and blood of patients with low oxygen levels. It may help doctors better understand how the breathing machine affects lung damage.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06368089Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for patients on a ventilator
This study tests two types of breathing exercises for people who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours and are ready to start breathing on their own. The goal is to see which exercise helps them get off the ventilator faster.
SongkhlaAges 40–80 - NCT07105202RecruitingPhase 4
Shorter weaning from ventilator with levosimendan
This study tests if a heart medication called levosimendan helps people get off the breathing machine (ventilator) faster. It's for people who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours and have already tried and failed to breathe on their own.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06719258Recruiting
Trial on heated humidifiers for breathing tubes
This trial studies how heating and adding moisture to the air breathed through a breathing tube (called a heated humidifier) affects patients in intensive care. It focuses on people who need the breathing tube for a longer time or special protective settings.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07453966Recruiting
Lung vibration therapy for people on breathing machines with lung infection
This study tests a device that delivers gentle vibrations to the lungs to help clear infection in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help improve oxygen levels and recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04534296Recruiting
Early mobilization for breathing muscles in critically ill children
This study looks at whether starting movement early in the first day of breathing support can help keep the diaphragm (a key breathing muscle) working better in critically ill children. The researchers will check diaphragm thickness using ultrasound and compare it to usual care.
ShanghaiAges 6 months–12 years - NCT07363902Recruiting
Electrical muscle stimulation study for breathing support
This study tests a new device that uses mild electrical pulses to strengthen the muscles used for breathing in people who are on a ventilator. It aims to help them recover faster.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07154589Recruiting
AbClo device for open abdomen and breathing
This trial is testing a device called AbClo that helps close the abdomen after surgery. It looks at how the device affects breathing in patients who are in the ICU and on a ventilator.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03405779Recruiting
Ultrasound test to measure lung stress in ICU patients
This study tests a new ultrasound method to assess how much strain is happening in the lungs of critically ill adults on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better understand lung stress and guide care in the ICU.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05405491Recruiting
DNA test to guide antibiotic use for pneumonia in ICU patients
This study tests whether using a DNA test on lung fluid can help doctors choose better antibiotics for pneumonia in ICU patients with weakened immune systems. It may lead to more effective treatment and fewer side effects.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06240637Recruiting
Telemonitoring for starting home ventilator
This study tests whether using a remote monitoring system (telemonitoring) helps people adjust better to a new home ventilator. It is for people with long-term breathing problems who are starting a ventilator for the first time.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07752004Enrolling by invitation
Using a stress ball during breathing support therapy
This trial tests whether squeezing a stress ball can help reduce stress and anxiety in people who are using a breathing mask that supports their breathing (non-invasive ventilation). It might make the experience more comfortable and help you feel calmer during treatment.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07571317Recruiting
Predicting breathing tube removal success in ICU patients
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07432191Recruiting
Testing a new ventilator for safe breathing support
This study tests a new breathing machine (INBENTUS VERSATILE ventilator) for people who need help breathing. It checks if the machine is safe and works well for patients who need a ventilator and then slowly come off it.
MurciaAges 18 years+ - NCT05822869Recruiting
Testing early EIT monitoring in people with ARDS
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06921655Recruiting
Using pressure and muscle measurement to avoid too much breathing help in the ICU
This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine settings for patients who are awake and breathing on their own but still need support. The goal is to avoid giving too much help, which can make the breathing muscles weak.
Trento, TrentoAges 18 years+ - NCT07099963Recruiting
Study comparing breathing settings during lung surgery
This trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06966817Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mechanical ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 252 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.
