Comparing mask designs for overnight breathing support
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
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 a new Fisher & Paykel mask to see how comfortable and effective it is for people who already use a PAP or NIV machine for sleep or breathing support. If you qualify, you might help improve future masks for others.
This study tests different masks used for non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) to see how they affect breathing in healthy adults. It might help people who need this kind of support at home or in the hospital.
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 tests different PAP machines (devices that help you breathe at night) to see how well they work and how comfortable they are. If you already use a PAP machine for sleep apnea, you might be able to try new machines for a week each and share your experience.
