Breathing and exercise rehab for long-term breathing machine patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing and exercise program for people who have been on a breathing machine for a long time through a tracheostomy. The program is designed to help them get stronger and breathe better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You had a severe breathing problem (respiratory failure) that needed a breathing machine through a tracheostomy for a long time
- You are medically stable enough to stay in this rehab program for at least the first 7 days

This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
This trial tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people with a tracheostomy (a tube in the throat to help breathing) get the tube removed faster. It is for adults who are awake and can cooperate.
This study tests whether specific breathing exercises can help people who have been on a ventilator for a long time get stronger and be able to breathe on their own. It also checks how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) responds to this training.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise on the ventilator can help people with respiratory failure get stronger and come off the breathing machine sooner. It focuses on patients who are awake and stable but still need mechanical ventilation.
This study tests two types of breathing muscle training exercises in people who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type helps you breathe better and improves your daily living.
This observational study looks at how tele-rehabilitation affects people with stable chronic breathing problems, especially if breathing limits their activity. It may help your care team understand what kinds of support work best when symptoms are steady.
