Using Hypnosis to Help Remove Breathing Tubes
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether hypnosis can help patients in the intensive care unit feel calmer and breathe better when doctors try to remove their breathing tubes. The goal is to see if hypnosis makes the weaning process (gradual reduction of ventilator support) safer and more successful.

This trial tests a non-drug breathing technique to help people who are having trouble coming off the breathing machine in the ICU. If you have needed a ventilator for more than a day and have already failed a breathing trial, this study may be for you.
This study tests a new approach to help patients with chronic heart, lung, or brain conditions come off breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital. The goal is to use personalized information about each patient's condition to safely and successfully remove the breathing tube.
This trial tests whether hypnosis can help people in the ICU who need noninvasive breathing support (breathing help without a tube) for breathing flare-ups related to COPD and/or obesity. It aims to make this treatment easier and safer while you are awake.
This study looks at how often obese patients have trouble breathing when doctors try to remove the breathing tube (weaning) in the ICU. The goal is to understand what causes this and how it affects recovery.
This study tests a special breathing therapy for intensive care patients who are having trouble coming off the ventilator. If you have weak muscles or a weak cough, the therapy aims to strengthen your breathing so you can recover faster.
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
