Salbutamol for viral wheezing in children
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses video recordings to see how well salbutamol helps children with wheezing caused by a virus. Researchers want to understand when this medicine works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child was given salbutamol in the emergency department
- Your child does not need immediate lifesaving treatment

This study tests if giving oral steroids (medicine to reduce airway swelling) only when needed based on a child's own biology can help preschool children with wheezing. It aims to find the best treatment for each child, avoiding unnecessary medicine.
This study tests whether giving a soy-based supplement to infants with a viral chest infection can reduce wheezing and other symptoms. It aims to see if this natural compound helps the immune system fight the virus.
This trial tests whether a short course of oral prednisolone (an anti-inflammatory steroid) helps young children under 2 who have wheezing triggered by a rhinovirus cold. It aims to see if steroid treatment can improve symptoms after an emergency visit.
This trial tests whether giving inhaled salbutamol (a medication that opens airways) through a nebulizer can help people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing and need oxygen support. It looks at how the treatment affects lung function and breathing effort.
This study compares two treatments for infants with bronchiolitis: a salty mist (3% hypertonic saline) and a breathing medicine (salbutamol). Both treatments help open airways, and the goal is to see which one works better to help your child breathe easier.
This trial tests whether a nebulized (inhaled mist) steroid medicine called fluticasone propionate helps reduce wheezing in infants under 2 years old. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for babies who are hospitalized with wheezing.
