Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - NCT07313956Enrolling by invitation
Breathing machine method study in the ICU
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07395076Recruiting
Study of immune causes of acute respiratory distress
This trial looks at how the immune system might cause severe breathing problems (ARDS). It may help doctors understand what happens in the lungs during this condition and find better ways to treat it.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06971042Recruiting
Using lung ultrasound to find ARDS early in ventilated patients
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
TantaAges 22–80 - NCT05710432Recruiting
Exercises to help breathing during ventilator weaning
This study tests whether specific neck and breathing muscle exercises during ventilator weaning can help people breathe more effectively and safely come off the ventilator. It may help patients who have already had trouble with prior weaning attempts.
Toronto, OntarioAges 16 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06531005Recruiting
Checking breathing to predict when a breathing tube can be removed in the ICU
This study looks at how well current breathing measures predict a patient's readiness to have their breathing tube removed in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to make the decision to remove the tube safer and more accurate.
Altindağ, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06586736Recruiting
Prone position study for ARDS patients
This trial studies how lying face down (prone position) affects breathing in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors better monitor and treat patients on a breathing machine.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT06911450Recruiting
Ultrasound test for lung strain in ICU patients
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how the lungs stretch (pleural strain) during breathing. It aims to see if this measurement works in ICU patients, both those breathing on their own and those on a ventilator, and how it relates to the pressure needed to inflate the lungs.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06919484Recruiting
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+ - 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.
Gaziantep, şehitkamilAges 18–50 - NCT05857774Recruiting
Study breathing muscle changes in ICU patients on ventilation
This study looks at how the muscles used for breathing work and change in ICU patients who are placed on breathing machines, then follows outcomes after they leave the hospital. It may help doctors better predict recovery and long-term health after ventilation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 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+ - NCT06808997Recruiting
Study on breathing support decisions for very early preterm babies
This study looks at how doctors decide when to remove the breathing tube (extubation) from extremely preterm babies born before 28 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to understand what affects breathing outcomes and could help improve care for these tiny infants.
AmiensAges 1 minute–5 months - 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+ - NCT06999603RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled study drug for virus infections on ventilators
This study tests an inhaled study drug (SNG001) for adults on a breathing machine in the ICU due to a viral lung infection. The goal is to see if the drug can help patients recover faster.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory mechanics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 111 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.
