Hypnosis during noninvasive breathing support for ICU lung illness
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and currently admitted to an adult medical intensive care unit (ICU).
- Your ICU alertness score (Glasgow score) is 15, meaning you are fully awake and able to participate.
- You have acute worsening of breathing failure related to COPD and/or obesity (BMI over 30) and you need noninvasive ventilation.
- Your medical team has you start noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without an airway tube) during this ICU stay.
- You can give written informed consent and are covered by a health insurance system.
- The situation is not too urgent for hypnosis (no immediate life-risk decision needed), and you are not confused or unable to benefit from hypnosis.

This study tests whether hypnosis can improve the quality of life for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who feel severely breathless. You will be randomly assigned to either receive hypnosis sessions or usual care, and the goal is to see if hypnosis helps you breathe easier and feel better in daily life.
This trial compares two non-invasive breathing treatments—one that pushes air in, and one that helps you breathe out—to see which one helps people with COPD recover faster during a flare-up.
This study tests a non-drug technique to help patients in intensive care who are having difficulty breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It may help reduce shortness of breath and improve the weaning process.
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help patients who are on a ventilator (breathing machine) feel calmer and breathe better when the tube is removed. It may reduce anxiety and improve the chance of a smooth recovery after critical illness.
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
This trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
