Database study for implanted phrenic nerve stimulators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study collects information about people with long-term breathing problems who may receive an implanted device that helps control breathing. It helps doctors better understand who benefits and how these treatments are used in real life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a long-lasting breathing problem related to the brain’s breathing control (from a nerve/brain lesion, or a congenital condition like Ondine syndrome).
- Your breathing problem is permanent and may be worse during sleep.
- You are covered by the French social security system.
- You can clearly agree to take part in research (and you can say “yes” or “no” comfortably).
- You understand French well enough to participate and follow study steps.

This study checks breathing/sleep measurements done at home for people who recently started a machine that helps them breathe without an endotracheal tube. It may help the team confirm how well home monitoring works after hospital setup of this breathing support.
This trial studies whether a device that uses a sensor and stimulation helps the diaphragm (breathing muscle) in certain adults who are newly placed on a breathing machine. It may help some patients avoid breathing muscle weakness while they recover.
This study tests a new device that uses mild electrical pulses to strengthen the muscles used for breathing in people who are on a ventilator. It aims to help them recover faster.
This study looks at how chronic respiratory failure affects day-to-day quality of life. It enrolls people who use breathing support at home or in care, and may help clinicians understand what support works best for patients’ daily living.
This trial studies a neurostimulation approach to help breathing problems after a spinal cord injury. You may be able to join if you have a certain type and level of spinal cord injury and breathing weakness, and you can safely attend study visits with caregiver support.
This trial tests a new device that uses gentle electrical stimulation to improve breathing during sleep. It is for people who have moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing and cannot use or do not get enough help from other treatments like CPAP.
