Study of breathing training for children with asthma
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 6 and 17 years old
- Have a clinician-diagnosed asthma diagnosis
- Currently need at least 2 asthma “controller” medications (not just rescue inhaler)
- Have either normal BMI or be in the higher BMI range for age (based on growth charts)
- Have an asthma control score (ACT) of 17 or higher

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.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help children with asthma feel better and improve their breathing. It focuses on children whose asthma is well-controlled and who are not currently having flare-ups.
This study looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
This study compares two programs for helping children with asthma who are overweight or obese — one that is held in person and another that is offered online. It tests whether learning about healthy habits and asthma management works better when done face-to-face or on a computer.
This study tests a 12-week program that combines breathing muscle training with short bursts of high-intensity exercise to help boys with obesity improve fitness and breathing strength. The goal is to see if this type of training is safe and helpful for boys in this age group.
This trial tests a structured exercise programme designed to help children and young people with asthma improve their fitness and manage their condition better. Participation involves joining exercise sessions and providing feedback through focus groups.
