Recruiting studies
- NCT06961227Recruiting
Comparing two breathing machine settings in the ICU
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
SanliurfaAges 18 years+ - NCT07092943Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods during surgery
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.

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+ - NCT06612125Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods in children having hernia surgery
This trial compares two different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic hernia repair surgery in young children. It may be a good fit if your child is between 1 and 5 years old, generally healthy, and scheduled for this specific surgery.
BenisuefAges 1–5 - NCT07077174Recruiting
Permissive lung-protective ventilation for critically ill patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether a more lenient approach to lung-protective ventilation can improve outcomes for patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a balance that is safer for the lungs while still being effective.
AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT05440851Recruiting
Testing different treatments for severe breathing failure in ICU
This platform trial studies which treatment works best for adults with sudden, severe breathing failure needing oxygen or a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help patients by matching them to the most appropriate treatment strategy and tracking outcomes to improve care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07307066Recruiting
Ventilation feedback study for lung protection in ARDS
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
Qujing, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT06791798Recruiting
Breathing treatments for patients on ventilators
This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
CairoAges 35–55 - NCT06024993Recruiting
Studying dead space in breathing machines during surgery
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18–70 - NCT06655805Recruiting
Registry for automated breathing support in adults
This trial collects data from adults in the ICU who need oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation, or a breathing tube with a machine. It looks at how automated settings affect care.
Sankt Gallen, Canton of St. GallenAges 18 years+ - NCT07709182Recruiting
Guided breathing machine settings for weaning off ventilation
This trial compares two ways of adjusting the breathing machine to help patients come off it more smoothly. It uses a special measurement (airway occlusion pressure) to guide settings, which may help you breathe on your own faster.
Tanta, Al GharbiaAges 21 years+ - NCT07445035Recruiting
Robotic leg brace to help walking while on a breathing machine
This study tests whether walking with a robotic leg brace (exoskeleton) can help people who are on a breathing machine get better faster. It is for adults in the intensive care unit who can sit, stand with help, and have no major leg or heart problems.
New Taipei CityAges 45–65 - NCT06703814Recruiting
Protective breathing support during robot surgery
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT03736707Recruiting
Testing two breathing machines in very preterm babies
This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 minute–1 hour - NCT03901924Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect the breathing muscle
This study looks at a specific way to control a breathing machine (ventilator) to help prevent weakness of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, in newly intubated adults. You might be considered if you are newly on a ventilator for less than 36 hours and certain other conditions are not present.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04774848Recruiting
Compare two breathing machines for newborns with diaphragmatic hernia
This study compares two types of ventilator support for newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The goal is to see which breathing approach works better and is safer when started very early after birth.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges Up to 1 day - NCT06895148Recruiting
Better breathing with lung-protective ventilation
This trial tests a way to deliver lung-protective ventilation (a method that uses low air volumes to avoid lung injury) to adults on breathing machines. It aims to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06547411Recruiting
Bariatric surgery and breathing machine settings study
This trial tests how different settings on the anesthesia machine affect people having weight-loss surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage breathing during the procedure.
Baotou, Inner MongoliaAges 16–65 - NCT07670494Recruiting
Comparing breathing machine settings during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06662630Recruiting
Oscillatory ventilation study for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study tests a new breathing method (high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) for patients in the ICU who need a breathing tube. It looks at how safe it is and how it affects the body, and is for people with certain lung problems like ARDS or collapsed lungs.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–90 - NCT06849596Recruiting
Breathing help for extremely premature babies at birth
This study compares two ways to help extremely premature babies breathe right after birth: using a manual T-piece or a ventilator. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07098611Recruiting
New tool to predict readiness for breathing tube removal
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 528 recruiting ventilation 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 ventilation 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 ventilation 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.
