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+ - NCT03736707Recruiting
Testing two breathing machines in very preterm babies
This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 minute–1 hour - 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+ - NCT06430554Recruiting
Personalized ventilation for ARDS patients on breathing machines
This trial tests a personalized ventilation method that adjusts how the breathing machine delivers air based on your lung's air and blood flow match. It aims to improve breathing for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are already on a ventilator and will be placed on their stomach.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT04658498Recruiting
Respiratory muscle training to help patients come off the ventilator
This trial studies whether exercises for breathing muscles can help people who are having a hard time coming off a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help you breathe with less ventilator support once your body is stable enough.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07326215Recruiting
A study of a device that removes carbon dioxide from the blood
This trial tests a device called PrismaLung+ that helps remove extra carbon dioxide from the blood of patients on breathing machines. It may help people whose lungs are struggling despite gentle ventilation settings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06790875Recruiting
Comparing two ventilator settings for lung health in ARDS
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07716787Recruiting
Brain monitoring during breathing therapy in critically ill patients
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
Dongying, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07531537Recruiting
Breathing exercises versus neck muscle training for neck pain
This study compares two types of exercises—breathing exercises and deep neck muscle training—to see which works better for people with long-term neck pain. You'll do one type of exercise program to help relieve your pain and improve function.
ZagazigAges 18–35 - NCT07375667Recruiting
Airway suction guidance in ventilated patients
This trial uses dynamic airway resistance and machine learning to guide when sputum suction is needed in ventilated patients with ARDS, AECOPD, or severe pneumonia.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT06482983Recruiting
Two breathing methods for women having laparoscopic gynecologic surgery
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery to see which one is better for your brain and lungs. The results may help doctors choose the safest method for people like you.
Istanbul, UmraniyeAges 18–70 - NCT07098611Recruiting
New tool to predict readiness for breathing tube removal
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.
Punta ArenasAges 18–89 - NCT07726940Recruiting
A Study of Immune Responses and ECMO in Severe Lung Injury
This study looks at how the immune system and ECMO (a machine that helps oxygenate blood) can improve outcomes for people with moderate to severe ARDS. If you join, researchers will monitor your condition and treatment to find better ways to manage this serious lung problem.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05717218Recruiting
Testing special breathing monitoring during VV-ECMO in ARDS
This trial checks whether a special “breathing sensor belt” that watches breathing in real time can be used safely in adults with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a machine called VV-ECMO. It may help the care team better monitor ventilation while you’re critically ill.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07032987Recruiting
Improving sedation with a new care plan for ICU patients
This trial tests a new sedation protocol for adults in intensive care who need strong pain relief or sedation medicines. It aims to make sedation safer and more comfortable, and includes people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) or a ventilator (breathing machine) for severe breathing problems.
London, LondonAges 18–100 - NCT07186933Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect lungs during high-risk surgery
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
PátraiAges 18 years+ - NCT07216755Recruiting
Breathing training and nitrate for altitude exercise
This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
Daytona Beach, FloridaAges 18–40 - NCT07274527Recruiting
Amnioinfusion for babies exposed to thick meconium during labor
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07199881Recruiting
Breathing effort study after major abdominal surgery
This study checks how your breathing effort changes with different levels of breathing support from the ventilator after major abdominal surgery. It helps doctors find the best settings to help you breathe comfortably while you recover.
Bangkok, BangkoknoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07839234Enrolling by invitation

Deep study of smell loss causes using brain scans
This study uses brain imaging and electrical recordings to understand the brain's role in smell loss from any cause—like COVID, sinus problems, or chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have any degree of smell loss lasting under a year.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT07542366Recruiting

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.
