NCT ID NCT07613021
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program helps ICU patients on ventilators regain their breathing strength and get off the machine sooner. The training uses an electronic device to strengthen the diaphragm. The trial will include 45 adults who have been on a ventilator for at least 72 hours.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- inspiratory muscle training using an electronic breathing trainer
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help ICU patients breathe on their own sooner, reducing time on ventilators and complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training may not improve weaning success for all patients.
