Nasal swab testing to guide care for kids with breathing issues
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks whether special nose tests help doctors choose the best treatments for children with long-term breathing and airway symptoms. It may help your child get more targeted care based on the test results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is at least 2 years old
- Your child has at least two of these: newborn breathing distress, ongoing stuffy/runny nose, long-lasting cough, unusual organ placement on body (situs/laterality), or bronchiectasis (airway scarring)
- Your child can tolerate having a small probe placed in the nose for testing
- Your child is NOT currently being treated for sinus infection (sinusitis) or another breathing flare-up with antibiotics
- Your child has not had sinus surgery, or a bloody nose, within the past week

This study tests whether a breathing test called nasal nitric oxide can help improve care for people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) or related lung/sinus problems. The goal is to see if the test can better guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
This registry study collects medical information and samples from children who may have or have been diagnosed with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). It helps researchers better describe the condition and its causes in Chinese children.
This study looks at how chest physiotherapy affects lung function in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (a lifelong condition affecting mucus movement in the lungs). It may help care teams understand which breathing therapies work best and how your lungs respond.
This study looks at how the airways in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) react to certain triggers. It aims to understand if these airways are more sensitive, which could help improve treatment for breathing problems.
This study checks whether using “PCD diagnostics” helps clinicians make better care decisions for people being evaluated for PCD. You might be able to join if you’re referred for PCD diagnosis and can complete the study steps.
This study looks at air in inner-city schools and how it may affect children’s health. You may be asked to collect nasal swab samples at home and answer questions, especially if your child’s classroom is part of the study.
