Recruiting studies
- NCT05878275Recruiting
Helping babies learn early movement with tummy time coaching
This study teaches parents how to use tummy time and safe positioning, and it checks whether these changes support healthy early infant development. You might join if your baby is very young, you live nearby, and you can do online sessions by phone video.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 1 day–4 years - NCT05990101Recruiting
Awake prone positioning for low oxygen in the ICU
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach (prone positioning) while awake can help you breathe better when you are in the ICU with low oxygen levels. It may reduce the need for a breathing tube.
KaunasAges 18 years+ - NCT07126964Recruiting
Extended prone positioning for ARDS patients on ventilators
This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05002478Recruiting
Prone positioning for very sick babies with lung distress
This trial tests whether turning very sick, ventilated infants onto their stomach (prone positioning) can improve breathing when they have severe lung distress from likely pneumonia or bronchiolitis. It may help your baby get better oxygen levels and recover faster, while doctors closely monitor safety.
ViennaAges Up to 1 year - NCT06967285Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS: checking brain blood flow
This trial studies how lying on your stomach (prone positioning) affects blood flow in the brain during severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to predict and prevent brain problems that might occur with this treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06685328Enrolling by invitation
Minimal surgery with gel for macular hole
This study tests a new, less-invasive surgery for macular holes. The surgeon uses a tiny gel to help close the hole without removing as much gel-like fluid from your eye as usual. It may help your vision recover with less risk.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06212492Recruiting
Muscle relaxants and stomach positioning for ARDS
This trial tests whether combining two treatments—medications that relax muscles (neuromuscular blocking agents) and lying on your stomach (prone positioning)—can reduce lung damage in people with severe ARDS on a breathing machine.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07362537Recruiting
Feeding while on stomach for severe lung failure
This study tests if giving nutrition through a feeding tube is safe and effective for patients with severe lung failure who need to lie on their stomach to help breathing. It may help doctors understand how to best feed patients during this treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT05898269Recruiting
Predicting fluid needs while lying face down in ARDS
This study tests a way to predict whether you will benefit from a fluid bolus (a small amount of IV fluid) while you are lying face down for ARDS. It uses continuous heart monitoring to guide or evaluate fluid decisions and may help clinicians avoid too much or too little fluid.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06915857RecruitingPhase 3
Betamethasone cream vs moisturizer for radiation rash in large-breasted women
This trial tests whether a betamethasone steroid cream works better than regular moisturizer to prevent skin reactions from radiation therapy. It is for women with large breasts who are getting radiation lying face down after breast-conserving surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07090460Recruiting
Measuring lung overstretch in prone-position ARDS patients
This study uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to check if the lungs are being overstretched when patients with severe breathing problems are placed on their stomach (prone position). It may help doctors adjust breathing machines more safely.
Bayonne, Centre Hospitalier de La Côte BasqueAges 18 years+ - NCT07325812Recruiting
Lung opening maneuvers during spine surgery
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT01284153Recruiting
Testing breast cancer radiation plans in a prone position
This study compares how well radiation treatment plans can be made when you lie face-down (prone) for breast cancer. It’s a planning study, meaning the main goal is to improve treatment planning and potential safety/comfort.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for prone position?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting prone position 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 prone position 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 prone position 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.
