Diaphragm ultrasound study for children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how well the diaphragm works in children aged 3 to 17, comparing those with a diaphragmatic condition to healthy children. Participation may help doctors better understand and care for diaphragm problems.

This is an observational study that follows babies and children with congenital diaphragm hernia (CDH) to learn more about their health and care over time. It may help doctors better understand which factors affect outcomes.
This study looks at how adolescents who had diaphragmatic hernia surgery as babies engage in physical activities and sports. It will use questionnaires and an optional interview by video call to learn what helps or gets in the way—so care teams can better support families.
This study is for people who have a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth-related opening in the diaphragm) or whose family member has had one. The research aims to learn more about the condition using molecular (cell-level) science, which may help improve understanding and future care.
This study uses 3D animation and physical models to help plan care for pregnancies where the baby has diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may help patients and clinicians understand the baby’s condition better and make management decisions more easily.
This study looks at a specific way to support a newborn’s breathing right after birth when they have congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth condition affecting the diaphragm). If you qualify, the team will compare their resuscitation approach to standard care to see if it helps babies in the delivery room.
This trial tests whether placing a tiny balloon in the fetus’s windpipe can help lungs develop and improve severe pulmonary (lung) blood pressure in babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may lower the chance of breathing and circulation problems after birth, but it requires a specialized procedure and close follow-up in Houston.
