This study looks at how children's immune systems fight the flu in the nose and throat. It aims to understand why some children get very sick and others don't, which could help create better treatments and vaccines.
GenevaAges 2–5 - NCT06806514Recruiting
Exercise and muscle strength in chronic low back pain
This trial measures how well you can use your arms and how strong your breathing and other muscles are if you have chronic low back pain. It aims to understand the links between these factors to improve future treatments.
KırşehirAges 18–65 - NCT07001696Recruiting
Predicting breathing support needs with chest X-ray and blood gas
This trial looks at whether combining a chest X-ray and a blood gas test can help doctors decide if a critically ill patient needs a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation). It aims to find a better way to make this important decision.
Zagazig, Al SharqiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06994442RecruitingPhase 3
Best pain relief for children on a breathing tube
This study tests adding extra pain medicines (acetaminophen or an NSAID) to usual opioid pain treatment for children on a breathing machine. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to manage pain.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 2 months–17 years - NCT06996665Recruiting
High-flow nasal cannula based on diaphragm ultrasound
This study uses ultrasound to match high-flow oxygen settings to your diaphragm's movement. It looks at how breathing muscles respond at different flow rates to give you the best support.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06996509Recruiting
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+ - NCT07002710Recruiting
Long-term ventilation and inflammation study
This study looks at how long-term inflammation affects the breathing of people who have been on a ventilator for 10 days or more. It aims to help doctors better understand and support your recovery.
TaipeiAges 20 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+ - NCT06990308Enrolling by invitation
Comparing breathing tube removal methods
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery: one with the tube's cuff inflated and one with it deflated. It aims to see which method may be safer and more comfortable for patients having short, non-airway surgeries.
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT06990477Recruiting
EIT-guided breathing machine settings for ARDS
This trial tests a special monitoring technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure for people with ARDS. It may help improve oxygen levels and protect the lungs.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 19–90 - NCT06975189RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing radiation in preterm baby lung scans
This trial tests whether using ultrasound instead of X-rays for lung imaging can safely reduce radiation exposure in very premature babies. If your baby needs lung imaging, they may be able to join.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges Up to 1 day - NCT06972784Recruiting
Heart and lung health study at Xiangya Hospital
This study looks at how heart and lung function are related over time. You may be able to join if you have had both a heart test (like an echo) and a lung test (like a breathing test) within one year of each other, and if your medical records are complete.
Changsha, HunanAges Any age - NCT06981026Recruiting
Checking if remote health coaching helps before prostate surgery
This study tests whether using a smartphone or computer to get health coaching before prostate cancer surgery helps people recover faster and have better results. You will be asked to exercise and track your health at home while staying connected with your care team.
OlomoucAges 40–80 - NCT06697951Recruiting

This study tests a simple breathing machine called the Neovent for newborns with mild to moderate breathing trouble in hospitals with limited resources. It aims to see if the device can help babies breathe easier without needing a breathing tube.
Tānsen, Palpa DistrictAges 1 minute–4 weeks - NCT06971042Recruiting
Using lung ultrasound to find ARDS early in ventilated patients
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
TantaAges 22–80 - NCT06967441Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for respiratory?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 922 recruiting respiratory 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 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 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.
