Can a Cough Monitor Work in Children?
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a way to monitor coughing in children at home, including children with cystic fibrosis and healthy children. It will help researchers learn how well a cough monitor works in real life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 18 years old
- If your child has cystic fibrosis: they must have a confirmed diagnosis and be feeling well (clinically stable) when joining the study
- If your child is a healthy control: they have no chronic lung or heart conditions, like asthma, cystic fibrosis, or sleep apnea
- Your child does not need nighttime breathing support or extra oxygen
- Your child does not share a bedroom with a sibling, and does not split time between two households
- Your child has not used oral or IV antibiotics (antibiotics taken by mouth or through a vein) in the last 2 weeks, except for routine azithromycin

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares physical abilities between children with cystic fibrosis and healthy children. It aims to find differences that could lead to better care and therapies.
This study uses a special MRI that can show inflammation in the lungs. It looks at healthy children and children with mild cystic fibrosis to test if the scan can detect early changes. If you join, you will breathe in a special gas during the MRI.
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor on the arm) to track blood sugar levels in young people with cystic fibrosis during a lung infection flare-up (called a pulmonary exacerbation). It aims to see if glucose changes can help guide treatment.
This study tests a wearable device (C-mo) that monitors coughing. It is for people of all ages who are currently coughing and can cooperate with wearing a small sensor on their belly for a short time.
This trial tests if a smart home monitoring system (using sensors and AI) can detect sudden lung flare-ups early in people with cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis. It may help you get treatment sooner when you are admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics.
This study tests if monitoring your cough sounds can help detect a sudden worsening of COPD (a lung condition) sooner. It aims to find early warning signs so you can get treatment faster.
