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 study tests two different types of breathing exercises to help people who are on a breathing machine get off it faster. The goal is to see which method works best and is safest.
This study is testing a new way to measure how strong your cough is—using a simple device—to help doctors know when you're ready to be taken off the breathing machine. If you're in the ICU and have been on a ventilator for more than a day, this trial might help make your breathing tube removal safer.
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 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 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 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.
