Custom masks aim to keep kids on breathing machines comfortably
NCT ID NCT05336136
First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests whether custom-made 3D-printed masks can help children who use non-invasive ventilation (a breathing machine) sleep better and use their mask more consistently. Researchers will scan each child's face to create a personalized mask and compare it to their current commercial mask. The goal is to see if a better fit improves comfort, reduces air leaks, and helps kids stick with their therapy.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Custom 3D-printed non-invasive ventilation mask
What this could lead to
If it works, custom masks could make NIV more comfortable and effective for children, reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small early study with only 15 children, so results may not apply to everyone. Custom masks may not improve adherence or comfort for all.
