Breathing and activity coaching for kids with obesity and mild asthma
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests an “inspiratory pulmonary rehabilitation” program—guided breathing and exercise training—for children who have obesity and mild asthma. It may help improve breathing control and exercise ability by teaching safe, structured breathing and activity habits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a child age 8–17 with obesity (BMI at or above the 95th percentile) and mild asthma
- A parent/guardian will need to give consent, and your child will need to agree (assent) if appropriate

This study looks at how an asthma-specific breathing training program affects children’s breathing and asthma control. It may help your care team understand who could benefit from inspiratory (breathing-in) training.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program helps children and teens with mild, moderate, or severe asthma breathe better and feel more confident. Participants will exercise regularly and share their experiences in group discussions.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help children with asthma breathe better and feel stronger. It is for children whose asthma is stable—meaning no recent attacks or medicine changes—and who are healthy enough to exercise safely.
This study tests whether breathing exercises and physical training can help teenagers with obesity and learning disabilities. It aims to see if these exercises improve their breathing and overall health.
This study tests whether teaching families to help children do breathing exercises at home improves asthma control. The program uses a smartphone app so parents can guide their child's practice and track progress.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program, done with remote support, is safe and helpful for children with pulmonary hypertension. It aims to improve how well kids function day-to-day while they stay on their usual PH medications.
