Testing vibration devices to clear mucus from airways
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares different vibratory devices that help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs. It may help by showing which device works best and is safest for people who need airway clearance therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult age 18 or older
- Your respiratory assessment score must be at least 10
- Your mucus (secretion) score must be at least 5
- You should not be pregnant
- Your slow vital capacity must be 10 mL/kg or higher
- You must be able to follow instructions during the study

This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
This study compares a mechanical device that helps clear mucus from the lungs to a hands-on chest therapy for hospitalized adults aged 60 and older who have trouble coughing. The goal is to see which method works better for removing congestion and improving breathing.
This study tests three different devices that help clear mucus from the lungs of patients on a breathing machine. It aims to see which device works best for treating collapsed lung areas (atelectasis).
This trial compares two chest therapy methods to help clear mucus in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. If you have a lot of mucus and are on a ventilator, this study may test which technique works better.
This study checks a device approach that helps move mucus out of the lungs in people with neuromuscular (nerve/muscle) conditions and weak breathing. It may help reduce mucus buildup and lower respiratory infections, but you must meet specific breathing and stability requirements.
This trial tests a device that uses vibrations to help clear mucus from your lungs. It may improve airflow and mucus buildup in people with moderate to severe asthma.
