Breathing muscle testing in children with breathing muscle weakness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how hard it is for children to breathe and how their breathing muscles work, using specific breathing-related tests. It may help doctors better understand breathing problems and choose care more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 18 years old
- Your breathing muscles are weak or affected (because of a primary or secondary muscle or breathing problem)
- You are followed at Necker Hospital
- You are breathing on your own or using breathing support (noninvasive or invasive ventilation)
- A parent/guardian can give written consent

This study looks closely at why children feel short of breath (“dyspnea”) and how breathing symptoms change over time. Your child may help doctors improve understanding and care for breathing problems like asthma or other lung conditions.
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) works during an emergency for people 75 and older who come in with sudden shortness of breath. It uses a simple ultrasound to check this muscle, which may help doctors understand breathing problems better.
This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
This study compares two ways to measure how well a baby’s diaphragm (main breathing muscle) works in babies and children who need breathing support. It may help doctors choose the best test to guide safe breathing changes, like when to remove the breathing tube or support.
This study looks at breathing, chest and belly movement, and exercise ability in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy, as well as healthy people. The goal is to compare these functions to help understand how these diseases affect the body.
This study looks at how the muscles used for breathing work on each side of the body in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help doctors understand breathing better and guide future treatments.
