Cough assistance for breathing tube weaning
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether special cough-aid techniques help adults on breathing tubes get off the ventilator faster. It may be an option for patients who need extra help coughing while they recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have a breathing tube (intubated) and are on a ventilator.
- You do not have facial injuries.
- You do not have a tracheostomy tube (a tube in your neck to help you breathe).

This trial tests whether certain physical therapy exercises for the arms and chest can help patients get off a breathing machine (ventilator) faster. It compares two different exercises and a breathing-machine setting to see which works best.
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 trial tests whether hypnosis can help patients who are on a ventilator (breathing machine) feel calmer and breathe better when the tube is removed. It may reduce anxiety and improve the chance of a smooth recovery after critical illness.
This study compares different tracheostomy tubes to see which one helps people breathe more comfortably while they are getting used to breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It aims to find the best tube to reduce shortness of breath.
This study tests whether using a positive pressure ventilation mask for one hour after removing the breathing tube helps patients who have been on a ventilator for a long time adjust better to breathing on their own. If you are in the ICU and about to come off the breathing machine, this extra support might help you recover more smoothly.
This study tests whether specific neck and breathing muscle exercises during ventilator weaning can help people breathe more effectively and safely come off the ventilator. It may help patients who have already had trouble with prior weaning attempts.
