Custom breathing-mask fit testing for children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a custom, non-invasive breathing mask works better or is easier for children to use. It’s meant to improve comfort and fit while supporting breathing therapy without invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 8 and 12 years old
- Be a patient followed by the non-invasive ventilation clinic at Stollery Children’s Hospital
- Already be using non-invasive ventilation as part of your treatment plan
- Be able to complete study tasks (like understanding simple instructions and lying still for about 20 minutes)
- Have a parent or guardian who can read the study information in English and give consent

This study tests how different mask designs used at home or in the hospital affect breathing in healthy volunteers. It may help improve mask comfort and fit for people needing breathing support.
This study is testing a new mask for non-invasive ventilation (a breathing machine that helps you breathe without a tube in your throat). It is designed to see if the mask is comfortable and works well for people who already use this type of breathing support at home.
This trial tests whether custom 3D-printed nasal masks work better for premature babies who need non-invasive breathing support. The masks are made to fit each baby's face, which might be more comfortable and effective.
This study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
This study tests how well a specific breathing mask setup works in people who need noninvasive ventilation (breathing support without a breathing tube), especially during COPD flare-ups or certain kinds of breathing failure. It may help reduce complications related to the mask while supporting breathing for at least a day.
This study tests a new device that measures how well children breathe. It's for kids ages 7 to 17 who already need a breathing test and can cooperate with the testing.
