Lung function test in children using metacholine
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies how well a special breathing test (forced oscillations) works during a methacholine challenge in children. It may help doctors better measure breathing sensitivity and guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 6 and 16 years old
- Have a recent FEV1 result above 60% (a measure of how well air moves out of the lungs)
- Be coming to a lung function lab for a methacholine breathing sensitivity test
- If using inhaled steroids, stop them for at least 3 weeks before testing
- Not have a respiratory infection (cold/chest infection) in the last 3 weeks

This study is testing a new way to diagnose asthma in children and teens using simple breathing tests. If your regular breathing test wasn't clear, this might give a more accurate answer.
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 measures how children's airways respond to a substance called methacholine to understand how asthma affects lung function. It compares children with and without asthma to help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at how a newer breathing test (oscillometry) compares to the standard one in children during exercise. It may help doctors better understand lung function in kids with breathing problems.
This trial tests how healthy adults' lungs react to a substance called methacholine. It helps doctors understand normal lung responses and can be used for comparison with people who have asthma.
This Phase 2 study checks how glycopyrronium bromide works in children with asthma, including its safety and how well inhaler dosing is tolerated. It also uses breathing tests and inhaler technique checks to confirm your child meets key asthma and lung function requirements.
