Recruiting studies
- NCT07622563Recruiting
Automatic oxygen control for premature babies on breathing support
This trial tests a device that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for premature babies who need help breathing through tubes or masks in their nose. The goal is to keep oxygen levels in a safer, more stable range without needing staff to manually adjust it constantly.
LondonAges 5 months–8 months - NCT07613021Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Training to Help ICU Patients Stop Using Ventilators
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises can help patients who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU for at least 3 days get off the machine more successfully. The exercises focus on strengthening the muscles you use to breathe in.
ChalcisAges 18 years+ - NCT07613632Recruiting
Lung Blood Flow Changes After Vein Graft Repair
This study measures how blood flow and oxygen distribution in your lungs change after a procedure to unclog a dialysis access graft. Researchers use painless electrode patches on your chest to track these changes and better understand how the procedure affects your breathing.
WuhuAges 18 years+ - NCT07590362Recruiting
Testing breathing readiness measures in ventilated COPD patients
This study compares two methods of measuring whether patients with COPD who are on breathing machines are ready to breathe on their own. The goal is to find the best way to predict which patients can successfully come off the ventilator.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07578545Recruiting
Pain management after minimally invasive chest surgery
This study tests whether combining a specific type of chest surgery (using small cameras) with numbing injections around nerves reduces pain and the need for strong pain medications after surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover better with less opioid use.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 18–75 - NCT03667027Recruiting
Study of breathing muscle and lung changes during transplant planning
This trial studies how the diaphragm (your main breathing muscle) and lung/airway tissue behave in people who are being supported until they can get a lung transplant. The results may help doctors better understand breathing failure and improve transplant care.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT05027035Recruiting
Compare diaphragm surgery versus breathing machine support
This trial is studying whether surgery, instead of using a breathing machine, works better for people with one-sided diaphragm paralysis. It aims to improve breathing comfort and function in the right patients.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07575763Recruiting
CT scan vs standard sizing for breathing tubes in chest surgery
This study compares two methods for choosing the right size breathing tube for lung surgery: one uses a CT scan beforehand, the other uses standard sizing. The goal is to see which method works better and causes fewer complications.
AmmanAges 18 years+ - NCT06733168Recruiting
Electric imaging to guide breathing machine settings for ARDS
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07559591Recruiting
High-Flow Oxygen to Help Breathing Tube Patients
This study tests whether high-flow oxygen through a breathing tube helps patients recover faster after tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the windpipe). If you're in the ICU with a tracheostomy and nearly ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help you transition off the ventilator more smoothly.
RiyadhAges 18 years+ - NCT07558265Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods in the emergency department
This study tests two common ways to help people who are having trouble breathing in the emergency room: a face mask that pushes air into the lungs (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) or high-flow oxygen through small tubes in the nose (high-flow nasal oxygen). The goal is to find which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07555080Recruiting
Airway tubes and stomach fullness in children undergoing surgery
This study compares how much air enters the stomach during surgery when using three different breathing tubes in children ages 1–10. The goal is to understand which tube design is safest and causes the least stomach bloating during anesthesia.
IstanbulAges 1–10 - NCT07536750Recruiting
Comparing Two Sedation Drugs for ICU Patients on Breathing Support
This study compares two medications (ciprofol and propofol) used to keep ICU patients calm and comfortable while they receive non-invasive breathing support, such as oxygen masks or tubes that help them breathe without a breathing tube in their windpipe. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07542366Recruiting
Testing a new lung imaging method in ICU patients
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07532811Recruiting
How Lungs Distribute Air and Blood in Critically Ill Children
This pilot study uses a special belt around the chest to measure how air and blood are distributed in the lungs of children on breathing machines in the intensive care unit. The goal is to better understand lung function in critically ill children.
Bron, FranceAges Up to 12 years - NCT06367218Recruiting
Opioid-free anesthesia with spontaneous breathing for VATS lung nodule surgery
This trial tests a way to do VATS lung nodule surgery without using strong painkillers (opioids) and while you keep breathing on your own. It may help you recover faster with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07522346Recruiting
Ventilator Pressure Levels During Surfactant Therapy in Preterm Infants
This study tests whether different pressure levels used during a minimally invasive surfactant procedure (MIST)—a way to deliver lung-coating medicine without a breathing tube—affect how well preterm infants' lungs inflate. Researchers hope to find the best pressure settings to help babies breathe more easily.
Saint Albans, VictoriaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT06757166Recruiting
Non-invasive respiratory support for COVID-19 breathing failure
This study tests if non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or high-flow oxygen) can help hospitalized patients with low oxygen levels due to COVID-19, without needing a breathing tube. It aims to see how well it works and what risks it may have.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07503509Recruiting
Study of high PEEP in noninvasive ventilation
This study tests whether using higher pressure settings (PEEP) on a noninvasive breathing mask can help people with low oxygen levels. The doctors will measure the pressure inside your esophagus to guide the treatment.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06741137Recruiting
Inhaled nitric oxide and prone positioning for ARDS
This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07494643Recruiting
Fluid response in children on low-tidal-volume ventilation
This study checks if giving fluids helps children on a ventilator with circulation problems. Doctors will use ultrasound to see how the heart responds to a small fluid boost.
AmiensAges birth–15 years - NCT06769308Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 506 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.
