Testing a device for breathing problems during chest movement
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a special device can be used in children to understand breathing problems related to chest and belly movement. It may help researchers improve care for kids who have breathing distress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 28 days old and 17 years old
- Be able to participate even if you currently do have breathing distress
- Not have existing equipment (hardware) that blocks using the device
- Not have medical treatments or other care needs that prevent using the device
- No skin injury (on the area needed) that would stop the device from being applied

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares a new breathing device (used with a hand-held bag) to a standard breathing machine during planned surgeries. Researchers want to see if the new device works just as well for people under general anesthesia.
This study tests a new device that measures how well children breathe. It's for kids ages 7 to 17 who already need a breathing test and can cooperate with the testing.
This trial tests a device called BreathAlert that monitors breathing and detects when a patient stops breathing (apnea). It aims to help doctors and nurses keep a closer watch on patients who are at risk.
This trial tests whether a special chest sensor (called electrical impedance tomography, or EIT) can help doctors distribute breathing support more effectively in children with sudden breathing failure. It may help optimize ventilation while the child is being monitored in intensive care or during anesthesia.
This study tests a new device that listens to your breathing to check lung health. It is for healthy people and those with asthma, COPD, CF, or other airway diseases.
This study compares a new breathing device to standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. If you have been referred for breathing tests because your doctor suspects asthma or COPD, you may be able to join.
