Testing a night breathing machine setting for muscle-nerve disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study helps find the best night-time settings for a non-invasive breathing support device (a machine that helps breathing without a tube). It may help people with motor neurone disease start long-term breathing support more comfortably and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- Your clinician has recommended starting long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV)
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of the underlying condition (motor neurone disease)
- You are medically stable enough to safely take part
- You have not used NIV for more than 1 month in the past 3 months
- You can give informed consent, and you have not previously had trouble tolerating NIV

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 tests whether starting non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) early in ALS helps people breathe easier and live better. If you've been diagnosed with ALS in the last 6 months and haven't used a breathing machine before, you may qualify.
This study looks at how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
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.
This study follows adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who use a breathing machine (non-invasive ventilation or NIV) at home. It aims to track their health over time to improve care.
This study tests different ways to improve chronic noninvasive nighttime breathing support at home for people with COPD. It may help make home treatment easier and more effective, using better tools and setup.
