Breathing therapy study for children with multiple disabilities
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a special breathing device (intrapulmonary percussive ventilation) can help children with multiple disabilities avoid hospital stays caused by breathing problems. The therapy is used long-term to see if it reduces the number of hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must have multiple disabilities caused by a brain injury before age 3
- Child must be between 1 and 16 years old
- Child must have severe intellectual disability and trouble moving (like needing a wheelchair or help to sit)
- Child must have been hospitalized for a breathing problem recently
- Parent or guardian must agree to the study

This trial tests a device that briefly opens your airways to help release trapped air after exercise. It may reduce shortness of breath and improve your daily life with COPD.
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
This study looks at how severe breathing difficulty (dyspnea) affects the recovery of children with a lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to improve care by tracking symptoms over time.
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 tests a device called AeroPace that helps stimulate the diaphragm to help people who have been on a breathing machine for a long time and have not been able to come off. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective in helping patients breathe on their own.
