Studying breathlessness in children to better understand symptoms
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 17 years old when they join
- Your child has breathing symptoms the day they enter the study
- Your child is able to do the symptom questionnaires or assessments (because of thinking/understanding ability)
- A parent or legal guardian is available in person or by phone when needed
- You (the parent/guardian) agree your child can take part in the study
- Your child is receiving care at Trousseau Hospital’s pediatric lung (pulmonology) clinic or is hospitalized there

This study enrolls adults with chronic lung conditions like COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or interstitial lung disease. It’s designed to learn more about these illnesses and to develop better ways to study or improve care.
This study follows children and teens who are being checked for asthma for the first time. It aims to learn more about the early symptoms of asthma to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study explores how people experience and perceive breathlessness, whether they have a known lung condition or are healthy. Researchers want to understand breathlessness better to potentially improve how it's managed and treated.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study tests whether recording your child's cough and breath sounds, along with a simple questionnaire, can help doctors better diagnose respiratory (lung and breathing) illnesses in children. The research team will compare children with respiratory symptoms to healthy children to develop a diagnostic tool.
This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
