Recruiting studies
- NCT07284888Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS patients on ventilators
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07339449Recruiting
Monitoring during surgery to reduce time on a breathing tube
This study tests whether special monitors used during major abdominal surgery can help high-risk patients wake up sooner and need a breathing tube for less time after the operation.
Zagreb, CroatiaAges 50 years+ - NCT07339644Recruiting
Lung-Sparing Radiation Guided by Breathing Scans
This study tests a new way to plan radiation for lung tumors. It uses a breathing-guided scan to map healthy and unhealthy parts of the lungs, so radiation can avoid working lung tissue. The goal is to see if this approach spares more healthy lung while still treating the cancer.
ChongqingAges 18–85 - NCT07372794Recruiting
Lung imaging-guided breathing therapy for patients on ventilators for weeks
This study tests whether using a special lung imaging technique called EIT can help guide breathing exercises and physical therapy for people who have been on a breathing machine for 21 days or more. The goal is to see if this approach helps your lungs work better and speeds up recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07393490Recruiting
Extra oxygen during lung cancer surgery
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen during surgery helps people who are having part of their lung removed for lung cancer. It may help keep oxygen levels stable while the lung is not being used for breathing.
OsijekAges 18 years+ - NCT02735707RecruitingPhase 3
Adaptive trial for severe pneumonia care in intensive care
This study tests ways to improve treatment for adults with severe pneumonia that lands them in the ICU, adjusting the plan as results come in. It may help your care team find better treatments for lung infection and breathing/heart support needs.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07408375Recruiting
Adjusting breathing machine for tumor ablation
This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine (ventilator) during a tumor-destroying procedure called thermal ablation. The goal is to find the safest pressure settings to protect your lungs while you are sedated.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07430111Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods during weight loss surgery
This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07437846Recruiting
How lung pressure settings affect breathing effort in ICU patients
This trial looks at how different breathing support settings (called PEEP) affect how hard your lungs have to work when you are on a breathing machine. The goal is to find the best setting to make breathing easier for you.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT07490028Recruiting
Mucus stiffness in ventilated ICU patients
This study looks at how sticky or stretchy the mucus is in the lungs of patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator). The goal is to learn more about mucus properties, which could help improve breathing treatments in the future.
Aix-en-Provence, RechercheAges 18 years+ - NCT07551258Recruiting
Immune System Changes and Lung Infection in Critically Ill Older Adults
This study looks at how the immune system changes in older patients on breathing machines in the ICU, and whether these changes affect the risk of developing pneumonia. Understanding this may help doctors better protect critically ill patients from infection.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07568418Recruiting
Skin Response Monitoring in Ventilated Premature Babies
This study measures how a premature baby's skin responds to stress while on a breathing machine. Researchers want to understand if skin conductance (electrical activity of the skin) is a good way to detect pain and discomfort in ventilated babies.
Uppsala, UpplandAges 5 months+ - NCT07571317Recruiting
Predicting breathing tube removal success in ICU patients
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07643324Recruiting
Breathing support study during kidney stone removal surgery
This study compares two different breathing-machine settings during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure to see which works better and causes fewer lung problems. You would be randomly assigned to one setting or the other during your surgery.
ÇorumAges 18 years+ - NCT07667582Recruiting
Pneumonia in ventilated patients
This study looks at patients who got pneumonia while in the hospital and needed a breathing tube. It helps doctors understand what causes it and how it affects recovery.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–100 - NCT07313956Enrolling by invitation
Breathing machine method study in the ICU
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
Best timing for lung expansion moves during surgery
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–80 - NCT07211906Enrolling by invitation
Oral care education for home ventilator users
This study tests whether a simple oral care education program, delivered through the LINE app, can improve mouth health and quality of life for people who use a non-invasive breathing machine at home.
Chiayi City, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT07203638Enrolling by invitation
Antibiotics to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics to adults on breathing machines lowers the risk of developing pneumonia during ventilation. It is a double-blind study, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know if you receive the antibiotic or a placebo.
Banhā, Al-QalyubiaAges 18–70 - NCT06837402Enrolling by invitation
Non-invasive ventilation in Argentine ICUs: an observational study
This study looks at how non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or machine) is used in ICUs across Argentina. It helps doctors understand patterns of care so they can improve treatment for patients with breathing problems.
CABA, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06805838Enrolling by invitation
Prolonged manual ventilation simulation study
This trial tests a new way to practice manual breathing support for a longer time than usual. It may help improve skills for people with BLS training.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06448988Enrolling by invitation
Lung function in two surgical positions
This study measures how well your lungs work while you are lying on your back versus in the side-lying park-bench position during brain or spine surgery. It aims to help doctors understand which position is easier for you to breathe in.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05604430Enrolling by invitation
Study of pre-hospital breathing support with a specific ventilator
This study looks at breathing support given outside the hospital using a particular ZOLL ventilator model and software version. If you were treated with the right equipment, the team will use the ventilator’s recorded data to evaluate how ventilation was delivered.

Researchers hope to find the best pressure settings to help babies breathe more easily.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 523 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.
