Recruiting studies
- NCT07191509Recruiting
Understanding breathing after tracheostomy removal
This study looks at how your breathing changes after removing a tracheostomy tube, using a valve and simple breathing tests. It may help doctors better plan your recovery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07121517Recruiting
Predicting airway problems in children with tracheostomies
This study looks at children with tracheostomies to see if symptoms you or your doctor notice can predict airway problems found during a routine scope. Participation involves no extra procedures—just answering questions and giving permission to use information from that routine scope.
SolnaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07810166Recruiting
Comparing two weaning methods before tracheostomy removal
This study compares two ways to prepare patients with a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in the neck) for having it removed. It tests whether a standard method or using a special valve (incremental dead space) works better for safe removal.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT06805214Recruiting
Body temperature after tracheostomy: a study
This study looks at whether body temperature changes after a tracheostomy, a surgery that creates a hole in the neck to help with breathing. The goal is to help doctors better understand what is normal after this procedure.
Kfar SabaAges 18–99 - NCT06612242Recruiting
Early vs. late tracheostomy in Guillain-Barre patients
This trial looks at whether having a tracheostomy (a breathing tube placed through the neck) earlier or later helps people with Guillain-Barre syndrome who need a breathing machine. It reviews past cases to see which timing leads to better recovery.
Kfar SabaAges 18 years+ - NCT06375369Recruiting
Digital Health Program for Children with a New Tracheostomy
This study tests a digital health program for children with complex medical needs who have a tracheostomy. The program helps families and doctors manage care at home.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07737353Recruiting
Education for families of ICU patients with tracheostomy
This study tests whether a structured education program for family members of ICU patients who need a tracheostomy helps them feel more prepared and less stressed. You would be asked to attend training sessions and fill out some questionnaires.
Giresun, GiresunAges 18 years+ - NCT07435727Recruiting
Comparing Two Steps to Remove Tracheostomy in Stroke Patients
This trial compares two methods (a speaking valve trial vs. a capping trial) to help stroke patients with a tracheostomy safely remove their trach tube. It tests which method works better to prepare you for breathing on your own.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07368179Enrolling by invitation
Neck Access Study for Kids
This study tests how doctors get emergency access to a child's neck. It may help doctors find the best method for fragile kids.
BernAges 25–65 - NCT07107243Recruiting
Using a new measurement to predict airway safety in tracheostomy patients
This trial tests if a new measurement called TTPEE can help doctors predict if the upper airway will stay open safely in people who have a tracheostomy and have recently been weaned off a ventilator.
Hunan, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06906263Recruiting
Anesthesia safety during airway scopes in children with tracheostomy
This study looks at problems that may happen during anesthesia (medicine to put you to sleep) when children with a tracheostomy have a routine scope to check their airway. It aims to make these procedures safer for kids like you.
SolnaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05482022Recruiting
Test speaking valve effects for people with tracheostomy and brain injury
This study checks whether a speaking valve changes breathing, swallowing, and voice in people who have a tracheostomy after a brain injury. It may help doctors find safer ways to improve communication and function for people who are in a minimal conscious or unresponsive state.
RaananaAges 18 years+ - NCT06120790Recruiting
A sip of water for people with a tracheostomy
This trial tests whether people with a tracheostomy can safely drink a small amount of water (3 ounces) without choking or aspirating. It may help determine if you can enjoy water by mouth again.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05416489Recruiting
Compare two ways to place a bedside tracheostomy
This study compares two methods doctors can use to place a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in the windpipe) at the bedside. It may help find a safer or easier approach for people who need long-term breathing support or cannot be safely weaned from a breathing machine.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–85 - NCT06283953Enrolling by invitation
Helping Caregivers Care for Kids with Tracheostomies at Home
This study offers help and training to caregivers of children with a tracheostomy who are getting ready to bring their child home from the hospital. The goal is to make caring for a child with a tracheostomy at home easier and safer.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05906472Recruiting
Feeding through a tube after tracheostomy in the ICU
This study tests a specific way of continuing tube feeding for people who need a tracheostomy after being on a breathing tube in the ICU. The goal is to see if this feeding approach is safe and beneficial for recovery.
Danbury, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07856732RecruitingPhase 1
Silver dressing for head and neck cancer patients with tracheostomy
This study tests a special silver dressing called Silverlon for people with head and neck cancer who have a tracheostomy. The dressing may help prevent infections and improve healing around the tracheostomy site.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06684392Recruiting
Breathing muscle training to help remove tracheostomy tube
This trial tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people with a tracheostomy (a tube in the throat to help breathing) get the tube removed faster. It is for adults who are awake and can cooperate.
Rancagua, Región del Libertador General Bernardo O’HigginsAges 18 years+ - NCT07467187Recruiting
Home Ventilation with Tracheostomy in Denmark (2016–2025)
This study looks at people in Denmark who need a home ventilator through a tracheostomy. It aims to understand their care and outcomes over several years.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT07256821Recruiting
Finding the best breathing muscle training dose in the ICU
This trial tests different amounts of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for patients who have a tracheostomy tube and are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the dose that helps most with recovery.
MarlowAges 18 years+ - NCT07240259Enrolling by invitation
Using a donated aortic patch to rebuild a child's windpipe
This trial tests a new way to repair a child's windpipe using a piece of donated aorta (a blood vessel) as a patch. It's for children who have severe breathing problems from a narrowed or damaged windpipe and cannot have standard surgery.

Testing a Voice Valve to Remove Breathing Tubes in Prolonged Consciousness Disorders
This study tests a new way to help people with long-lasting disorders of consciousness get their tracheostomy tube removed using a voice valve. If you qualify, this might help improve recovery and communication.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07173634Enrolling by invitation
Speaking valve trial for tracheostomy removal in consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether using a speaking valve (a small one-way valve that lets you breathe and speak) helps people with a tracheostomy and long-term consciousness problems safely remove their tracheostomy tube, compared to a standard capping method.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tracheostomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting tracheostomy 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 tracheostomy 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 tracheostomy 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.
