BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT05500833Recruiting
Studying breathlessness in children to better understand symptoms
This study looks closely at why children feel short of breath (“dyspnea”) and how breathing symptoms change over time. Your child may help doctors improve understanding and care for breathing problems like asthma or other lung conditions.
ParisAges 6–17 - NCT05513508Recruiting
Tested a protective breathing mask in COPD and respiratory failure
This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
NovaraAges 18 years+ - NCT05520762Recruiting
Trial for patients after in-hospital cardiac arrest needing breathing support
This trial studies a hospital treatment for people who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital and still need help breathing. It may help improve care right after this emergency by testing an airway resuscitation approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05536076Recruiting
Breathing treatment to help recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a breathing-support treatment (for abnormal breathing during sleep) can improve breathing recovery in people living with a spinal cord injury. It aims to see if treating higher carbon dioxide levels and sleep-breathing problems leads to better breathing and recovery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - NCT05536531Recruiting
NMES therapy to help prevent ICU muscle weakness
This trial tests whether a device that delivers small electrical pulses to muscles can help prevent breathing and muscle weakness in very sick ICU patients. It also looks at changes in blood markers that may relate to muscle weakness and recovery.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT05590130Recruiting
Test two oxygen targets using different oxygen monitors
This study compares how much oxygen is needed and how well oxygen levels stay in a safe range after heart surgery in the ICU. It also tests whether using different oxygen monitors affects oxygen flow and oxygenation.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05640635Recruiting
Testing inflammation changes in people on ECMO
This study looks at inflammation during ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine) and while people are being weaned off it. It may help doctors better understand which patients are improving safely during ECMO and when to reduce support.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05674643Recruiting
Gastric testing during children’s surgery
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–18 - NCT05686850Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support vs high-flow oxygen after ICU extubation
This study compares two breathing supports used after a breathing tube is removed in the ICU: a noninvasive ventilator (mask-based) versus high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which one works better when patients develop breathing trouble soon after extubation.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05698966Recruiting
Low-dose steroid shot to help late preterm baby lungs
This study tests whether a low dose of a steroid medicine given to pregnant people late in pregnancy can help a baby’s lungs if delivery happens early. If you’re due for late-preterm delivery soon, the trial may help reduce breathing problems in the newborn.
AfulaAges 18–45 - NCT05724745Recruiting
3D lung breathing test during MRI versus standard spirometry
This study compares a new 3D MRI-based breathing test with the usual breathing test called spirometry. It may help doctors measure lung function more precisely in healthy people and in people with asthma, COPD, or after a double lung transplant.
Orsay, FranceAges 18–90 - NCT05751863Recruiting
Sedation-first vs usual care in ventilated trauma patients
This study compares how pain medicine and calming medicine are started in critically injured (trauma) adults who are on a breathing machine. It aims to see whether a specific “analgesia-first” approach can improve comfort and support breathing weaning.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05758532RecruitingPhase 4
Modified measles vaccine schedule to help prevent allergies in babies
This study tests whether changing the measles vaccine timing in 6-month-old children can reduce allergy risk and also help protect against unrelated infections. If your child is already up to date with routine vaccines, they may be eligible for a modified measles (MMR) schedule used in the trial.
GenevaAges 6 months–6 months - NCT05767671Recruiting
Breathing tube patients in ICU tested for lung inflammation treatment
This trial studies whether changing immune cells in the lungs (using a procedure called MiniBAL) can improve outcomes in adults who are critically ill and on a breathing tube. It may help doctors better manage acute lung injury by targeting inflammation early in the ICU stay.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–99 - NCT05780099Recruiting
Study of patients treated in internal medicine clinics
This observational study follows people receiving care in Internal Medicine at San Raffaele Hospital to better understand what kinds of conditions they have. It does not test a new treatment, but your information may help improve future care.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05783908Recruiting
Self-guided breathing help during MRI-guided radiotherapy for moving tumors
This study tests whether a self-guidance approach for breathing can improve radiotherapy sessions when the tumor moves during breathing and is treated with an MRI-guided machine. It may help make treatments more accurate and easier to follow during each session.
Dijon, Côte d'OrAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05816954Recruiting
Imaging test to predict lung injury risk in ARDS
This study looks at scan images to better predict the risk of a serious lung complication (barotrauma) in people with ARDS. It may help doctors choose safer treatment strategies in the ICU.
Catanzaro, CalabriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05822869Recruiting
Testing early EIT monitoring in people with ARDS
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05844579Recruiting
Early breathing and mobilization support for ICU lung injury
This study looks at whether starting early movement and breathing-related care while in the ICU helps people with ARDS (a serious lung condition). You may be eligible if you recently needed a breathing machine and are expected to need it for a bit longer.
TokyoAges 16 years+ - NCT05847634Recruiting
Testing how deep sedation affects blood flow in ARDS
This study looks at whether giving deep sedation (and sometimes muscle-paralyzing medicines) changes blood flow and oxygen delivery in the brain during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is a pilot study, meaning it mainly aims to understand safety and gather early information.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT05849779RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing sevoflurane to help prevent ARDS in ICU patients
This Phase 3 trial tests whether inhaled sevoflurane (a breathing anesthetic) can help prevent ARDS, a serious lung injury, in high-risk ICU patients who need sedation. It aims to reduce the chance of developing ARDS by using this medication during the early period on a breathing machine.
