Recruiting studies
- NCT07202780Enrolling by invitation
MS and Muscle Strength in Breathing and Legs
This study looks at how MS affects the strength of your breathing muscles and leg muscles. If you join, you will have tests to measure your muscle strength, walking ability, and fatigue. This may help doctors understand how to better treat MS-related weakness.

RCexp effect on lung air and blood flow in ARDS
This study tests a new technique (RCexp) to see how it affects air and blood flow in the lungs of people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve how we monitor and treat lung problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 19 years+ - NCT06826794Recruiting
VentilO study for heart surgery patients on ventilators
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing in patients who are on a ventilator right after heart surgery. It may help doctors adjust settings more accurately.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06454006Recruiting
Light therapy for patients on breathing machines
This study tests a light therapy (called PBMT-sMF) on people in the ICU who need a breathing machine. It aims to see if the treatment helps muscles and recovery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 21 years+ - NCT06148467Recruiting
Understanding breathing patterns and adjusting ventilator support
This study looks at a specific breathing pattern called reverse triggering in people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) who are on a ventilator. The goal is to see how adjusting the ventilator settings affects this pattern and improves breathing coordination.
GuadalajaraAges 18–90 - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices
This is a follow-up registry that collects information from people who have (or will receive) an eligible Medtronic device. It helps the company and doctors better understand how the device works in real-world use.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT07463885Recruiting
Breathing on your own vs machine breathing for low oxygen
This study tests whether letting patients with serious breathing problems breathe on their own (with a breathing tube still in place) is better than the usual way of using the ventilator to do all the breathing. It may lead to faster recovery and less harm.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06319274RecruitingPhase 2
Prostacyclin for lung infection patients on a ventilator
This study tests a medicine called prostacyclin (given through a vein) to see if it helps people on a breathing machine with a lung infection. The goal is to reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06189924Recruiting
Breath analysis in ventilated ICU patients
This study collects and analyzes the moisture you breathe out while on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to learn more about your condition by examining your breath.
OlomoucAges 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+ - NCT06062212Recruiting
Effects of lung pressure on recovery in severe ARDS on ECMO
This trial looks at how changes in lung pressure during breathing might affect recovery in patients with severe ARDS who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It could help doctors improve treatment for people with this serious lung condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT05990348Recruiting
Comparing two breathing support methods for weaning from ventilator
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06662630Recruiting
Oscillatory ventilation study for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study tests a new breathing method (high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) for patients in the ICU who need a breathing tube. It looks at how safe it is and how it affects the body, and is for people with certain lung problems like ARDS or collapsed lungs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–90 - NCT07114289Recruiting
Breathing test methods for overweight patients on ventilators
This study compares two ways of testing if overweight or obese patients can breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. You will be randomly assigned to one of two breathing trials (pressure support or a T-piece) to see which works better for helping you get off the ventilator.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT03642002Recruiting
Music therapy for adults on breathing machines in the ICU
This trial tests whether music therapy can improve comfort and recovery for adults who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) in the ICU for at least 48 hours. It may help with stress, mood, and other ICU-related symptoms while you are in critical care.
New York, New YorkAges 18 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 - NCT07750288Recruiting
Studying shortness of breath in children with acute respiratory distress
This study looks at how shortness of breath (dyspnea) relates to the progression of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), a severe lung condition in children. It aims to understand breathing difficulties better to improve care.
SantiagoAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06733168Recruiting
Electric imaging to guide breathing machine settings for ARDS
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT06757166Recruiting
Non-invasive respiratory support for COVID-19 breathing failure
This study tests if non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or high-flow oxygen) can help hospitalized patients with low oxygen levels due to COVID-19, without needing a breathing tube. It aims to see how well it works and what risks it may have.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06201403Recruiting
COPD: Breathing Muscle Strength and Flexibility Study
This study looks at the strength and flexibility of muscles you use to breathe, including muscles in your chest and neck. If you have moderate-to-severe COPD and have been stable on your medications, it may help researchers understand how these muscles are affected.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 18–75 - NCT07002710Recruiting
Long-term ventilation and inflammation study
This study looks at how long-term inflammation affects the breathing of people who have been on a ventilator for 10 days or more. It aims to help doctors better understand and support your recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory mechanics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 98 recruiting respiratory mechanics 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 respiratory mechanics 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 respiratory mechanics 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.
