Recruiting studies
- NCT06836830Recruiting
Comparing Two Ventilator Settings After Cardiac Arrest
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine for people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It looks at whether using a small amount of extra pressure (called PEEP) improves outcomes compared to using no extra pressure (ZEEP).
Gütersloh, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06844370Recruiting
Home vs hospital NIV care for MND
This study compares two ways of starting non-invasive ventilation (NIV) — a breathing machine — for people with motor neurone disease (MND). It aims to see if starting NIV at home is as safe and effective as starting it in the hospital.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT06848218Recruiting
Music therapy during non-invasive breathing support for children
This study tests if music therapy can help children who are receiving breathing support (non-invasive ventilation) in the pediatric intensive care unit. It aims to reduce stress and discomfort during treatment.
MontpellierAges Up to 17 years - NCT06867354Recruiting
Breathing difficulty in obese patients during weaning from ventilator
This study looks at how often obese patients have trouble breathing when doctors try to remove the breathing tube (weaning) in the ICU. The goal is to understand what causes this and how it affects recovery.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06897501Recruiting
Comparing breathing tubes for voice box protection during esophagectomy
This trial compares two types of breathing tubes used during robot-assisted esophageal cancer surgery. One tube blocks one lung (double-lumen tube) and the other tube uses a smaller blocker (bronchial blocker); researchers want to see which causes fewer voice box nerve injuries after surgery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06911450Recruiting
Ultrasound test for lung strain in ICU patients
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how the lungs stretch (pleural strain) during breathing. It aims to see if this measurement works in ICU patients, both those breathing on their own and those on a ventilator, and how it relates to the pressure needed to inflate the lungs.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06914336Recruiting
Liver ultrasound to check fluid buildup in ventilated patients
This trial uses an ultrasound of your liver to see if there is extra fluid or pressure in your veins that might make it harder to breathe. It may help doctors understand how to better manage the breathing machine for people who have been on it for more than a day.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT06919484Recruiting
RCexp effect on lung air and blood flow in ARDS
This study tests a new technique (RCexp) to see how it affects air and blood flow in the lungs of people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve how we monitor and treat lung problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 19 years+ - NCT06939335RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a breathing method during CPR after cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether a specific breathing technique (PEEP) during CPR helps improve outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated by emergency medical teams.
Ostend, West-FlandresAges 18 years+ - NCT06966752Recruiting
Comparing two breathing supports for preterm babies with breathing problems
This study compares two types of breathing support (CPAP and NIPPV) for preterm babies with breathing problems. It aims to find which method works better for helping babies breathe easier.
Vilnius, Vilnius CountyAges birth–10 months - NCT06967207Recruiting
Electrical imaging lung monitor for ARDS outcomes
This study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06967285Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS: checking brain blood flow
This trial studies how lying on your stomach (prone positioning) affects blood flow in the brain during severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to predict and prevent brain problems that might occur with this treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06996509Recruiting
Noninvasive breathing support for Guillain-Barré syndrome
This trial tests whether noninvasive breathing support (like a mask or nasal prongs) can help people with Guillain-Barré syndrome who have trouble breathing. It aims to see if this approach can avoid the need for a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18 years+ - NCT06996834Recruiting
Comparing breathing support methods for pneumonia-related breathing failure
This trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 18 years+ - NCT06999603RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled study drug for virus infections on ventilators
This study tests an inhaled study drug (SNG001) for adults on a breathing machine in the ICU due to a viral lung infection. The goal is to see if the drug can help patients recover faster.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07004049RecruitingPhase 4
Testing combinations for resistant Gram-negative infections
This study tests different antibiotic combinations for severe infections caused by hard-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria (like Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter). The goal is to find the best treatment for bloodstream infections or pneumonia that started in the hospital.
Brisbane, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07013175Recruiting
Wise Choices in the Intensive Care Unit
This study looks at how decisions are made in the ICU. It may help improve care for adult patients in Swedish intensive care units.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07017283Recruiting
Comparing two sedation methods for older adults having ERCP
This study compares two ways of keeping you comfortable and safe during an ERCP procedure: deeper sedation with a breathing tube versus deep sedation without a breathing tube. It aims to find which method causes fewer side effects in older adults.
Hangzhou, ZhijiangAges 60 years+ - NCT07032987Recruiting
Improving sedation with a new care plan for ICU patients
This trial tests a new sedation protocol for adults in intensive care who need strong pain relief or sedation medicines. It aims to make sedation safer and more comfortable, and includes people on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) or a ventilator (breathing machine) for severe breathing problems.
London, LondonAges 18–100 - NCT07049900Recruiting
Abdominal binder study for premature babies
This trial is testing whether a soft abdominal binder (a wrap around the belly) helps premature babies who need breathing support through a mask or prongs. It aims to make breathing easier and more comfortable for these tiny infants.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07052604Recruiting
Antibiotic treatment for a rare pneumonia in ICU patients
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07059689Recruiting
Comparing breathing support after heart surgery in children
This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.
Jakarta, DKI JakartaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07070843Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 527 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.
