Home breathing support for medically complex children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether starting a noninvasive breathing machine (given without a tube in the airway) at home works well and is tolerated in children with medical complexity. It may help improve comfort and safety when new breathing support is prescribed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 5 to 17 years old
- Be newly prescribed a noninvasive positive pressure breathing machine (NiPPV)
- Have already tried NiPPV while awake and tolerated it
- Have a caregiver who can consent (and the child, when applicable)
- Speak English (child and/or caregiver must be English-speaking)

This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive ventilator (a breathing machine with a mask) at home can help people with severe COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital visits.
This trial tests whether real-time monitoring with wearable devices can provide early warnings for COPD patients using home non-invasive ventilation. It aims to help manage the condition and prevent complications.
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.
