Comparing home and hospital masks for breathing support
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 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 trial tests a new non-invasive ventilation mask that fits under the nose. The goal is to see if the mask is comfortable and works well for people who are already stable on NIV therapy.
This study looks at how well your breathing matches the ventilator when using certain home ventilation machines. It aims to improve how these devices help people with breathing problems.
This study tests a new type of breathing mask that helps your lungs take in more air by clearing stale air from the mask. If you are already in the ICU using a breathing mask, this could make your breathing support more effective.
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 trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
