Recruiting studies
- NCT06586736Recruiting
Prone position study for ARDS patients
This trial studies how lying face down (prone position) affects breathing in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors better monitor and treat patients on a breathing machine.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–90 - NCT07350265Recruiting
Testing a lung surgery technique to reduce air leaks
This study tests a special ventilation method during lung surgery to see if it can predict air leaks after the procedure. If successful, it could help patients recover more smoothly after a lobectomy or segmentectomy.
AntonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07340255Recruiting
Safe airway pressure during anesthesia start
This study tests the best air pressure to use with a mask to keep air out of the stomach when you first go to sleep for surgery. It helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
JiaxingAges 18–65 - NCT07326215Recruiting
A study of a device that removes carbon dioxide from the blood
This trial tests a device called PrismaLung+ that helps remove extra carbon dioxide from the blood of patients on breathing machines. It may help people whose lungs are struggling despite gentle ventilation settings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07327619RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Antibiotic Combo for Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia
This trial tests a combination of two antibiotics (meropenem and pralurbactam) to see if they work better than other treatments for people with pneumonia that started in the hospital or from a breathing machine. If you qualify, this study might offer you a new treatment option.
Huaihua, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT07325812Recruiting
Lung opening maneuvers during spine surgery
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07325773Recruiting
Can magnesium help lung function during one-lung breathing?
This trial tests if giving magnesium during surgery helps oxygen levels in the blood and supports lung mechanics when only one lung is used for breathing.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT05928052Recruiting
Spinal stimulation to help ARDS patients get off the ventilator
This study tests whether stimulating nerves in the spine can help people with severe lung injury (ARDS) breathe without a ventilator sooner. It may help shorten the time you need a breathing machine in the ICU.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06719284Recruiting
Improving breathing support in newborns on special ventilators
This trial is studying how to use a special breathing machine (high frequency oscillatory ventilation) in newborns. The goal is to improve the settings for better breathing support.
LondonAges 5 months–1 year - NCT07323472Recruiting
Body positioning and breathing in critically ill patients on ventilators
This study tests whether turning patients on their side affects their breathing and lung health. It aims to improve care for people who need a breathing machine.
Recife, PernamuAges 18 years+ - NCT07308171Recruiting
Nasal airflow to ease breathing in tracheostomy patients
This study tests whether sending a small amount of air through the nose can help reduce shortness of breath in people who have a tracheostomy and are on a breathing machine. If you often feel breathless, this simple approach might make you more comfortable.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07307417Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for obesity
This trial tests if training your breathing muscles can improve respiratory function in people with obesity. It aims to help those with a BMI of 30 or higher.
Wroclaw, Dolny ŚląskAges 30–60 - NCT07314229Recruiting
Breathing limits during exercise in cystic fibrosis patients on ETI
This study measures how often people with cystic fibrosis who take elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) experience breathing limitations during exercise and what factors are linked to this.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07309783Recruiting
Lung imaging to guide breathing support in ARDS
This trial uses a special lung imaging technique (EIT) to guide ventilator settings for people with ARDS. It may help improve breathing support and reduce lung injury.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07304479Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for robotic surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (sevoflurane and desflurane) during robotic abdominal surgery. It aims to find which one may be safer and better for your lungs.
AthensAges 18–87 - NCT07282886RecruitingPhase 2
Ventilation imaging study for asthma patients
This trial uses special imaging to look at how air moves through your lungs. It may help doctors understand asthma better and could lead to better treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06816706Recruiting
Comparing two oxygen methods during breathing trials
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen (high-flow through the nose vs. a T-piece) to help patients come off a breathing machine safely. It aims to see which method works better during a test of your ability to breathe on your own.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07274527Recruiting
Amnioinfusion for babies exposed to thick meconium during labor
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07262541Recruiting
Measuring airway opening pressure in children on ventilators
This study tests a simple way to measure the pressure needed to open the airways in children on a breathing machine. It may help doctors provide better breathing support for your child in the intensive care unit.
ParisAges Up to 17 years - NCT07265882Recruiting
Bedside test for breathing tube patients
This trial uses a simple bedside test to evaluate patients who are on a breathing machine and not breathing on their own. It may help doctors better understand and manage acute respiratory failure.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–90 - NCT07268560Recruiting
Testing a new antibiotic combination for certain drug-resistant infections
This trial is checking how well a combination of two antibiotics, aztreonam and avibactam, works in patients who have a specific type of drug-resistant bacterial infection in the belly or lungs. It aims to offer a new treatment option for infections that are hard to cure.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07258875Recruiting
Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07241208Recruiting
Comparing two ways to place breathing tube for lung surgery
This study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.

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.
