EILO in kids with asthma
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how many children with asthma also have a condition called EILO (Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction), which can cause breathing problems during exercise. The goal is to better understand the link between asthma and EILO in teenagers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 18 years old.
- A doctor has diagnosed you with asthma.
- You must have had a positive asthma test (like a breathing test after exercise or a methacholine challenge) in the last 2 years.
- No severe heart or lung disease other than asthma.
- No asthma attack or respiratory infection in the last 2 weeks.
- No oral steroids in the last 4 weeks before testing.

This trial tests if a drug called ipratropium bromide can help people with exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO), a condition where the voice box closes during exercise, making it hard to breathe. If you have EILO, you may be able to join to see if this treatment improves your breathing during exercise.
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 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.
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 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 trial tests a treatment approach for exercise-related breathing difficulty called EILO. It aims to help people whose breathing problems show up during peak exercise and who want ongoing follow-up.
