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 how different mask designs affect breathing in people with COPD or OHS who use a nighttime breathing machine. You'll stay overnight in a sleep lab so the team can check which mask works best for you.
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 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 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 looks at how non-invasive ventilation (breathing support through a mask) is used for people with COPD who are in the intensive care unit because of a sudden flare-up. The goal is to understand current practices to improve care.
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.
