Breathing muscle training for Guillain-Barre patients on ventilators
This trial compares two methods to help people with Guillain-Barre syndrome who are having trouble breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It tests if adjusting the ventilator's sensitivity or doing specific breathing muscle exercises can improve blood oxygen levels and help them wean off the machine.
CairoAges 20–55 - NCT06203405Recruiting
Sedation guided by breathing effort in ICU patients
This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06339580RecruitingPhase 2
Volume-targeted ventilation for neuromuscular disease
This trial tests a smarter ventilator setting that automatically adjusts pressure to deliver a steady amount of air. It may help people with slowly worsening muscle weakness who already use a nighttime breathing machine.
London, LondonAges 18–80 - NCT06467864Recruiting
Predicting lung infection outcomes using early bacteria tests
This trial tests a new way to predict how well patients with a ventilator-associated lung infection will respond to treatment. It uses two bronchoscopy samples to track bacteria levels and guide better care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06481618Recruiting
Stress and ventilation bag use by healthcare workers
This study looks at how stress affects healthcare workers' ability to use a manual ventilation bag correctly. If you are a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional who may need to give manual ventilation, you may be able to join.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06483984Recruiting
Testing facemasks to remove carbon dioxide in breathing trouble
This trial tests special facemasks that help remove carbon dioxide from the blood during noninvasive breathing support (like a CPAP or BiPAP mask). It is for people who have a sudden breathing problem with high carbon dioxide and low blood pH.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06542107Recruiting
Weaning from a breathing machine after brain injury
This study looks at the best way to help people with a recent brain injury come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to improve the weaning process and reduce time on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06486259Recruiting
Assessing lung injury risk in ventilated patients
This study looks at the risk of lung injury in patients on a ventilator who have ARDS (a severe lung inflammation). It aims to better understand how the lungs respond and to find safer breathing settings for you.
San Juan Bautista, Buenos AiresAges 18–75 - NCT06514729Recruiting
Comparing ventilation methods during lung lobe surgery
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine during surgery to remove a lung lobe. It aims to find which method works better for patients like you.
Zunyi, GuizhouAges 18–75 - NCT06526598Recruiting
Breathing support tailored to your effort in the ICU
This trial tests a new way of adjusting breathing machine support based on how hard you are breathing. It may help people with low oxygen levels who need a ventilator.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06531005Recruiting
Checking breathing to predict when a breathing tube can be removed in the ICU
This study looks at how well current breathing measures predict a patient's readiness to have their breathing tube removed in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to make the decision to remove the tube safer and more accurate.
Altindağ, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06554327Recruiting
Rapid test for lung infection in ICU patients on a ventilator
This trial uses a rapid test (PCR) to check for bacteria in your lung fluid, so doctors can pick the right antibiotics faster. It's for ICU patients on a breathing machine who may have a lung infection.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT06607055Recruiting
Immune markers in ICU patients with pneumonia
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in ICU patients on a ventilator who have pneumonia. By measuring immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand and predict complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06609577Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diaphragm pacing for patients on ventilators
This trial tests a personalized pacing device that uses ultrasound to help your diaphragm muscle work better while you are on a breathing machine. It may help you breathe on your own sooner and improve your recovery.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–95 - NCT06622902Recruiting
How flow changes affect CO2 in preemies on high-flow breathing support
This study watches how changing the flow of air through a breathing device (high-flow nasal cannula) affects carbon dioxide levels in preemies. It helps doctors learn the safest way to adjust breathing support for fragile infants.
HaifaAges Any age - NCT06624540Recruiting
Reducing pneumonia in ICU patients through evidence-based nursing
This trial tests whether teaching nurses proven methods can lower the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from breathing machines) in intensive care. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT06702813Recruiting
High-frequency vibration breathing treatment for ICU patients
This trial tests a device called MetaNeb that delivers high-frequency vibrations to help clear mucus and open collapsed air sacs in the lungs. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are awake, alert, and have trouble breathing or need extra oxygen.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1.5 years–80 years - NCT07595926Recruiting
Proper Height Measurement in Ventilator Patients with Lung Injury
This study examines whether the way doctors measure height in sedated patients on breathing machines affects lung protection. Researchers will compare different measurement methods to see which one helps prevent breathing-machine-related lung injury in patients with severe lung failure (ARDS).
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06743529Recruiting
Immediate or watchful waiting for antibiotics in possible pneumonia
This trial compares starting antibiotics right away versus waiting for more test results in people on a breathing machine who may have pneumonia. The goal is to find out which approach works better without causing harm.
Angers, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06754670Recruiting
How low phosphate affects breathing after ventilator use
This study looks at how low phosphate levels in the blood affect your ability to breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator. If you are already getting better and ready to start breathing without the machine, the results may help doctors understand and manage your recovery better.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06776939Recruiting
High-flow oxygen through trach tube to help weaning from a ventilator
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen delivered through a tracheostomy tube can make mucus less sticky and reduce breathing effort while you are being taken off a ventilator. It could help you breathe easier during weaning.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06791915Recruiting
Comparing breathing method during heart ablation for AFib
This trial studies two ways of using a breathing machine during a heart procedure called radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib). It aims to find which method is better and safer.

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.
