Chest vibration device for mucus clearance in pneumonia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a device that uses gentle vibrations on your chest to help move mucus out of your lungs. It is for hospitalized adults who have trouble coughing up phlegm due to pneumonia or similar infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are hospitalized and need help clearing mucus from your lungs.
- You have a fever or cough with sputum, and imaging shows you need mucus clearance.
- You do NOT have severe pneumonia requiring ICU care.
- You do NOT have active tuberculosis, lung cancer, or other major lung diseases.

This study tests a device that delivers gentle vibrations to the lungs to help clear infection in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help improve oxygen levels and recovery.
This trial compares different vibratory devices that help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs. It may help by showing which device works best and is safest for people who need airway clearance therapy.
This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
This trial compares different nebulized solutions to see which works best at clearing mucus from the lungs in people with pneumonia who cannot cough it up on their own. If you are in the hospital with pneumonia and need suctioning to remove mucus, this study might help improve your breathing and recovery.
This study is testing a new device called Simeox 200 to help clear mucus from your lungs. If you have bronchiectasis and produce a lot of mucus daily, this device might make it easier to breathe and reduce lung infections.
This study checks a device approach that helps move mucus out of the lungs in people with neuromuscular (nerve/muscle) conditions and weak breathing. It may help reduce mucus buildup and lower respiratory infections, but you must meet specific breathing and stability requirements.
