Breathing patterns during nighttime NIV
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You use a breathing machine (NIV) at night for COPD or obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS)
- You can complete an overnight sleep study and sleep on a standard double bed
- You are not pregnant, do not have uncontrolled sleep apnea, a very high pressure setting, or a cold/flu right now
- You are not allergic to the sticky sensors used in the study

This study tests different mask designs to see which one helps people with COPD or OHS breathe better during overnight breathing support. It aims to find a more comfortable and effective mask for long-term use.
This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
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 looks at signals from non-invasive home ventilators to better track COPD. It may help understand how to manage the condition using data from your device.
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.
This study checks how often people with obesity and sleep apnea, who use a CPAP machine, have a breathing problem during sleep called nocturnal hypoventilation (low breathing effort at night). It aims to see if these patients need extra breathing support beyond CPAP.
