Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - NCT05454332RecruitingPhase 4
Caffeine for premature babies right after birth
This study tests whether caffeine given to very premature babies around the time they move from fetus to newborn stage can improve outcomes. It may help babies who need support as they breathe and adapt after birth.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges Up to 2 hours - 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+ - NCT06438198Recruiting
Early switch to assisted breathing for lung failure
This trial tests switching patients from full ventilator support to a more gentle, assisted breathing mode earlier than usual. It may help people with severe lung failure recover faster and avoid complications from prolonged deep sedation.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06494215Recruiting
Comparing methods to measure lung air distribution in ventilated patients
This study tests different ways to measure how air is distributed in the lungs of patients on a breathing machine (ventilator) as they are being weaned off. It may help doctors better understand lung function during recovery.
São PauloAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06486259Recruiting
Assessing lung injury risk in ventilated patients
This study looks at the risk of lung injury in patients on a ventilator who have ARDS (a severe lung inflammation). It aims to better understand how the lungs respond and to find safer breathing settings for you.
San Juan Bautista, Buenos AiresAges 18–75 - 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+ - 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+ - 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
Mouth care solutions for ventilator patients in the ICU
This study tests two different mouth-care solutions for patients on breathing machines, to see if they can prevent pneumonia and improve mouth health in intensive care.
AnkaraAges 18–90 - NCT05188092Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05134467Recruiting
Protocol-based weaning from the ventilator in ICU patients
This study looks at a step-by-step plan to help patients come off the breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) and checks how well it works. If you’re an ICU patient on the ventilator for at least two days, you may be eligible to follow their protocol.
SeoulAges 19–99 - NCT05886803Recruiting
Predicting breathing test success in the ICU
This study uses data from your hospital records to see if a machine learning tool can predict whether a patient will succeed when doctors try to remove their breathing tube during a test of their own breathing.
NiceAges Any age - NCT07304479Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for robotic surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (sevoflurane and desflurane) during robotic abdominal surgery. It aims to find which one may be safer and better for your lungs.
AthensAges 18–87 - 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+ - NCT06166706Recruiting
Ventilation methods in children during anesthesia
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.
PerthAges Up to 16 years - NCT07430111Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods during weight loss surgery
This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06542107Recruiting
Weaning from a breathing machine after brain injury
This study looks at the best way to help people with a recent brain injury come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to improve the weaning process and reduce time on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07667582Recruiting
Pneumonia in ventilated patients
This study looks at patients who got pneumonia while in the hospital and needed a breathing tube. It helps doctors understand what causes it and how it affects recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mechanical ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 268 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.
