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 study tests a home monitoring system that watches how well noninvasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe) works for people with severe COPD. The system sends early warnings to your care team if your breathing patterns change, which may help prevent flare-ups.
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 whether using a breathing machine (called non-invasive ventilation, or BiPAP) at home can help people with severe COPD breathe better and possibly live longer. It is for people whose blood CO2 levels stay high even after a COPD flare-up.
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.
