Recruiting studies
- NCT06805357Recruiting
Lung opening during chest therapy on a breathing machine
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
CréteilAges 18–100 - 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+ - NCT06743529Recruiting
Antibiotics right away or later for lung infections from a breathing machine
This study looks at when to start antibiotics for a lung infection you may have gotten while on a breathing machine. It compares starting them right away versus waiting for the test results to be sure you need them.
Angers, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06700681Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two sedatives for heart ablation procedures
This trial compares two sedative medicines (remimazolam and propofol) given during heart ablation procedures. The study uses brain-wave monitoring to see which medicine provides better sedation and recovery. It's for people who are already scheduled for this procedure with a specific doctor.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06581939Recruiting
Early rehab with nutrition after ICU ventilation
This study tests whether starting physical therapy and tailored nutrition early and continuing for a longer time helps people recover after being on a breathing machine and blood pressure support in the ICU.
AlbiAges 18 years+ - NCT06575530RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam for sedation after non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam besylate in patients who need a breathing tube and light sedation after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06491017Recruiting
Better airway clearance for ventilated patients
This trial tests if a special machine (mechanical insufflation-exsufflation) can help remove thick mucus from the lungs of patients who are on a breathing tube and ventilator. The goal is to see if optimized settings clear more mucus than standard care.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06259565RecruitingPhase 3
Breathing mask sedation trial for agitated adults
This trial tests whether adding a sedative called dexmedetomidine to non-invasive ventilation (a breathing mask) helps adults who are agitated or uncomfortable while on the mask. It aims to improve comfort and avoid the need for a breathing tube.
Surrey, British ColumbiaAges 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+ - NCT06436638Recruiting
CPAP mask vs. nasal tube for breathing during molar extraction
This trial compares two ways to help you breathe during deep sedation for a molar extraction: a CPAP mask over your nose or a small tube placed in your nostril. The goal is to see which method keeps your oxygen levels more stable.
KayseriAges 18–60 - NCT03405779Recruiting
Ultrasound test to measure lung stress in ICU patients
This study tests a new ultrasound method to assess how much strain is happening in the lungs of critically ill adults on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better understand lung stress and guide care in the ICU.
Montreal, QuebecAges 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 - NCT04080440Recruiting
Checking readiness to remove the breathing tube after brain injury
This study looks at how to judge when it is safe to remove the breathing tube in people in the ICU after a brain injury. It may help improve timing and safety of extubation, when supported by a breathing trial and clinical stability.
AngersAges 18–75 - NCT06134492RecruitingPhase 3
Acyclovir for pneumonia patients with HSV-1 on breathing support
This trial tests whether acyclovir, an antiviral drug, can help patients with pneumonia who are on breathing support and have herpes simplex virus in their lung fluid. The goal is to see if it improves recovery.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT05886803Recruiting
Predicting breathing test success in the ICU
This study uses data from your hospital records to see if a machine learning tool can predict whether a patient will succeed when doctors try to remove their breathing tube during a test of their own breathing.
NiceAges Any age - NCT05843786RecruitingPhase 3
Interferon gamma for ventilator pneumonia in ICU
This trial tests whether a medicine called interferon gamma can improve outcomes in adults with a first episode of pneumonia that develops after being on a ventilator in the ICU. It is designed for specific ICU timing, infection severity, and immune marker levels, and it compares treatment on top of standard care.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT05719259Recruiting
Study on pneumonia from breathing machines in the ICU
This study watches patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) to learn more about pneumonia that can happen from the machine. The goal is to understand how to better prevent and treat this infection.
TiranaAges 18 years+ - NCT05188092Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.

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.
