Breathing muscle training to help remove tracheostomy tube
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation)
- You have a tracheostomy placed because you needed a breathing machine for a long time
- You are awake and able to follow instructions (Glasgow Coma Scale more than 11 points)
- You can cooperate with simple tasks (score of more than 3 on a cooperation scale)

This study tests a special swallowing exercise using resistance training for people who have a tracheostomy (breathing tube in the throat) after being on a ventilator. The goal is to see if this exercise helps improve swallowing strength and recovery.
This trial tests different amounts of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for patients who have a tracheostomy tube and are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the dose that helps most with recovery.
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.
This study tests two types of breathing exercises for people who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours and are ready to start breathing on their own. The goal is to see which exercise helps them get off the ventilator faster.
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises can help patients who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU for at least 3 days get off the machine more successfully. The exercises focus on strengthening the muscles you use to breathe in.
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.
