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+ - NCT06039501Recruiting

Noninvasive breathing support for Guillain-Barré syndrome
This trial tests whether noninvasive breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) can help people with Guillain-Barré syndrome who have trouble breathing. It aims to see if this approach can avoid the need for a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18 years+ - NCT06912360Recruiting
CPAP support for severe breathing failure in Burkina Faso
This trial tests if CPAP, a breathing machine that keeps airways open, helps adults with severe breathing problems and low oxygen levels. It is for people in Burkina Faso who need extra oxygen to breathe well.
Bobo-Dioulasso, HouetAges 18 years+ - NCT06996834Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods for pneumonia-related breathing failure
This trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18 years+ - NCT07488806Recruiting
Understanding Nemaline Myopathy Over Time (Spain)
This study follows people with nemaline myopathy over time to better understand how the disease progresses. It helps researchers learn more about the condition and plan future treatments.
BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT06441760Recruiting
Telemedicine support for paramedics in children's emergencies
This study tests whether paramedics and emergency doctors can use a special video or phone link to improve care for children in emergencies. It compares the usual way doctors give advice to paramedics with a new telemedicine method.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06114667Recruiting
Nasal high flow vs. mask for COPD flare-up
This study compares two types of breathing support for people having a severe COPD flare-up with high carbon dioxide and acidic blood. It tests if a gentle air flow through the nose (nasal high flow) works as well as a mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help you breathe better.
Montpellier, MontepllierAges 18–85 - NCT06102330Recruiting
Helping parents decide about home breathing machines
This study helps parents like you who are deciding whether their child should have a breathing machine at home. You'll use a website or get support by phone to learn about your options and share what matters most to your family, so doctors and families can make better choices together.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07334457Recruiting
Platelet Changes While on ECMO Support
This study looks at how blood cells called platelets change in people who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) in the ICU. It aims to better understand how the body responds to this support.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06579612Recruiting
Personalized exercise support for chronic lung disease
This trial tests whether one-on-one guidance from a sports-health specialist can improve your well-being if you have a chronic lung condition like asthma, COPD, or sleep apnea and are already taking part in a lung rehabilitation program.
BrestAges 18–80 - NCT06042621Enrolling by invitation

MOBYBOX monitoring study for temporary heart-lung support
This is a post-market “real-world” monitoring study for a heart-lung machine (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support/ECMO) used during very serious heart and/or lung failure. It aims to track safety and performance in patients who need rescue breathing or circulation support.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18–80 - NCT06047405Recruiting
Comparing two breathing machine settings for high carbon dioxide failure
This trial tests two different ways of setting a noninvasive breathing machine (BiPAP) to help patients with high carbon dioxide levels in the blood due to respiratory failure. It aims to find which setting works better for patients at Lenox Hill Hospital.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07199881Recruiting
