Recruiting studies
- NCT06819943Recruiting
Bed positioning to reduce pressure on the body
This study tests a special bed positioning technique (lateralization therapy) to see if it lowers pressure on the body and helps prevent bedsores in people on breathing machines. If you are on a ventilator and not yet ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help improve your comfort and skin health.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05223192Recruiting
Testing music to improve breathing and brain oxygen in preemies
This study looks at whether planned music sessions can help preterm babies breathe more steadily and improve oxygen reaching the brain. It may help staff learn how to use music therapy safely for newborns in the NICU.
New York, New YorkAges 6 months–9 months - 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+ - NCT07098910Recruiting
Surfactant therapy for premature babies with breathing problems
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) through a mask on the throat (supraglottic airway) is safe and effective. It may be an option for babies who need extra oxygen but are not on a breathing tube.
HanoiAges Up to 2 days - NCT07283497RecruitingPhase 4
Itraconazole for bronchiectasis with airway mold growth
This Mayo Clinic study tests whether the oral antifungal drug itraconazole can help people with bronchiectasis who have mold growing in their airways. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms and reduces mold in the lungs.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06448988Enrolling by invitation
Lung function in two surgical positions
This study measures how well your lungs work while you are lying on your back versus in the side-lying park-bench position during brain or spine surgery. It aims to help doctors understand which position is easier for you to breathe in.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06571942RecruitingPhase 4
Triple therapy for lung disease from biomass smoke
This trial is testing a combination of three inhaled medicines (triple therapy) to see how well they help the small airways in people whose lung disease is caused by breathing in smoke from cooking or heating with wood or other biomass fuels. It may be a good fit if you have COPD or chronic bronchitis from this type of exposure.
Mexico City, TlalpanAges 35–85 - NCT02464696Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support to avoid tube breathing in cancer
This trial studies a mask-based breathing treatment (noninvasive ventilation) for people with cancer and serious breathing trouble, to see if it can prevent the need for intubation (putting a breathing tube in). If you qualify, the goal is to help you breathe better without invasive airway support when possible.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07457554Recruiting
Can respiratory quotient help ICU patients on ventilators?
This study looks at whether using a simple measurement called the respiratory quotient (a sign of how your body is using fuel) can help doctors make better decisions for patients on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may lead to safer, more personalized care.
Poznan, WielkopolskaAges 18–85 - NCT04484727Recruiting
Measure lung pressure and breathing in ventilated ICU patients
This study measures lung pressures and breathing mechanics during planned or emergency breathing machine (ventilator) treatment. It may help doctors better understand lung behavior in both healthy and breathing-distressed lungs to improve care.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06539520Recruiting
Walking exercise for heart and lung health after stroke
This trial tests whether a supervised walking and exercise program can improve your heart and lung fitness and overall quality of life after a stroke. It is designed for people who are still affected by weakness on one side but can walk on their own.
GizaAges 55–65 - NCT07323472Recruiting
Body positioning and breathing in critically ill patients on ventilators
This study tests whether turning patients on their side affects their breathing and lung health. It aims to improve care for people who need a breathing machine.
Recife, PernamuAges 18 years+ - NCT06177925RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemoradiation for limited spread SCLC
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) plus standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has only spread to a few places. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer better.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06511284Recruiting
Nutrition therapy for swallowing problems after breathing tube removal
This study tests whether specialized nutrition therapy can help patients who have trouble swallowing after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to improve recovery and quality of life for people who need a feeding tube after leaving the hospital.
Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06052436RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Treg cell therapy for COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress
This trial tests a new cell therapy using Treg cells from thymic tissue to calm an overactive immune response in severe COVID-19 and ARDS. It aims to improve breathing and reduce inflammation.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–65 - NCT05146336Recruiting
CytoSorb registry for critically ill patients needing blood treatment
This registry collects information about critically ill patients who receive the CytoSorb 300 mL blood treatment. It may help doctors better understand when the treatment works best and when it should not be used.
KlagenfurtAges Any age - NCT06925295RecruitingPhase 2
Xenon MRI to guide radiation for lung cancer
This trial tests whether a special MRI that uses xenon gas can help doctors better plan radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for stereotactic body radiation therapy for your lung cancer.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–80 - NCT05986318RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing breathing issues from lung radiation in people with ILD
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications (dexamethasone and N-acetyl cysteine) can reduce breathing problems caused by radiation to lung tumors in patients who have both lung cancer and fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). It aims to find a better way to manage side effects from radiation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06531460Recruiting
Omega-3 nutrition before lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether a special nutrition drink with omega-3 (a healthy fat found in fish) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. You may qualify if you are about to have lung removal surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting respiratory therapy 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 therapy 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 therapy 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.
