Recruiting studies
- NCT05459116Recruiting
Record breathing effort to protect lungs during ventilation
This trial studies a way to measure how hard a patient is breathing and how the lungs and diaphragm are working while someone is on a breathing machine. The goal is to help the team use a “lung- and diaphragm-protective” ventilation strategy and see if it improves care.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 4 weeks+ - NCT05535543Recruiting
Prone breathing position test for severe lung failure
This trial studies whether turning patients onto their stomach (a positioning technique called prone positioning) changes a breathing-monitoring measure in people with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). If you qualify, the goal is to see if this positioning can improve how well your lungs exchange oxygen while you are on a breathing machine.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT05562505Recruiting
Using ECMO to help you breathe, sit up, and come off a ventilator
This trial tests whether a heart-lung machine called venovenous ECMO can help people with severe breathing failure get less sedated, get extubated (have the breathing tube removed), and start moving. It’s for certain adults who are on a ventilator for a short time and have specific oxygenation problems.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 18–65 - NCT05814237Recruiting
Study of new respiratory infections starting within 10 days
This is an observational study that follows adults who are newly sick with a respiratory infection that started within the past 10 days. It may help researchers understand what causes these infections and how patients do in emergency or hospital-care settings.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT05903001Recruiting
Breathing muscle testing to help track lung disease
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
Aachen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05913882Recruiting
Breathing training for people with ALS to improve cough
This study tests a breathing and expiratory muscle training program to help people with ALS cough more effectively. It may help reduce breathing and airway trouble by strengthening the muscles used for cough in early-stage ALS.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT06051292Recruiting
Testing balloon size for lung pressure measurement in children
This study tests how much air to put in a small balloon in the esophagus (feeding tube-like device) to measure lung pressure more accurately. It is for children on a breathing machine whose settings are stable for the next 2 hours.
AydinAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06190171Recruiting
Breathing strength training for heart transplant patients
This trial tests whether a special breathing and muscle-strengthening exercise program can help people waiting for a heart transplant. It is designed to improve your respiratory strength and overall conditioning before surgery.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–90 - NCT06357780Recruiting
Comparing two breath-timing methods for breathing masks in adults
This study compares two ways of timing a breathing mask's support to match your own breaths. If you're in the ICU or ER and need help breathing for at least 2 more hours, this trial may test which method works better.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT06443515Recruiting
Breathing changes during blood transfusions in newborns
This study watches how breathing changes in newborns during blood transfusions. It helps doctors understand if transfusions affect breathing, so they can give safer care.
RomaAges Up to 1 month - NCT06624696RecruitingPhase 4
Inhaled penehyclidine to prevent breathing problems in children having eye surgery
This study tests whether giving a medication called penehyclidine (given as a mist inhaled before surgery) can help prevent breathing problems in children aged 3–7 who are having eye surgery and are at risk for such problems. The medicine is compared to a placebo (a mist with no active drug).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 3–7 - NCT06694311Recruiting
Testing CPAP and high-flow oxygen for ARDS
This study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–80 - NCT06716463Recruiting
Predicting breathing support failure with wearable monitoring
This study tests if a wearable chest monitor can predict when breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) might stop working, so doctors can act faster. It is for hospital patients who need help breathing but are not on a breathing tube.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06736288RecruitingPhase 4
Buccalin® tablets to prevent repeat lung infections
This trial tests whether Buccalin® tablets can help adults who get frequent lower respiratory infections (like bronchitis or COPD flare-ups). It's a phase 4 study collecting more data on safety and how well the medicine works to prevent these infections from coming back.
AlessandriaAges 18–99 - NCT06774534Recruiting
SerpinB3 protein in acute respiratory distress
This study looks at a protein called SerpinB3 and its role in severe lung inflammation (ARDS). It may help doctors understand how ARDS develops and find new ways to treat it.
Padova, PDAges 18 years+ - NCT06951633Recruiting
Salt mine rehab for older adults with breathing problems
This study tests if a special rehabilitation program in a salt mine can help people aged 65 and older who have chronic lung diseases breathe better and feel more energetic. The program includes exercises and time in a salt chamber, which may reduce inflammation and make breathing easier.
Wieliczka, WieliczkaAges 65 years+ - NCT06952816Recruiting
Testing EMILY AI for respiratory failure
This study tests a new AI device (EMILY) that helps monitor breathing problems like acute respiratory failure. You may join if you are in a hospital for respiratory care and meet certain health criteria.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07051967Recruiting
Comparing recovery after ICU for pregnant and non-pregnant COVID-19 patients
This study looks at how COVID-19 and respiratory failure affect recovery after intensive care. It compares pregnant patients to non-pregnant patients to learn more about the long-term effects.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07071935RecruitingPhase 2
Early ventilation study for newly diagnosed ALS
This trial tests whether starting non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) early in ALS helps people breathe easier and live better. If you've been diagnosed with ALS in the last 6 months and haven't used a breathing machine before, you may qualify.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07103291Recruiting
Breathing muscle training in healthy cyclists
This study tests whether a breathing muscle training program (using an app) can improve endurance in healthy cyclists and triathletes. If you are a competitive road cyclist or triathlete, this might help you learn more about your breathing and performance.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–55 - NCT07239583Recruiting
RSV infection and health impact in older adults in Vietnam
This study looks at how common RSV (a virus that can cause serious breathing problems) is in older adults who are hospitalized with respiratory symptoms or worsening heart/lung conditions. By joining, you help researchers understand the virus and improve care for people your age.
