Tools to improve childhood pneumonia care
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a cough or trouble breathing
- Your child has fast breathing or chest pulling in
- This is a new illness, not a follow-up visit
- Your child has not taken antibiotics for pneumonia for more than 2 days
- Your child does not have serious danger signs (like inability to drink, vomiting everything, seizures, or being very drowsy)
- Your child does not have an underlying health problem that raises pneumonia risk (like severe malnutrition or weak immune system)

This study looks at a urine test for pneumonia in children aged 12 to 24 months. It aims to see if the test can help diagnose pneumonia better, especially in those with symptoms like fever, cough, and fast breathing.
This study tests if lung ultrasound can help doctors decide whether to use antibiotics for children with pneumonia. If your child has signs of pneumonia but is stable enough for an ultrasound, this could help avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial tests a treatment plan for children with pneumonia who can be treated at home. It aims to find the best way to help kids get better faster and avoid complications.
This study tests a tool called ALRITE that helps healthcare workers decide how to care for young children with breathing problems in clinics in Uganda. The tool aims to improve decisions and outcomes for these children.
This study looks at how children's bodies fight lung infections and how the germs themselves behave. It could help doctors better understand why some children get very sick and how to treat them in the future.
This study is testing a digital stethoscope (a modern device that amplifies and records lung sounds) in young children who have a cough or trouble breathing. It does not test a medicine—just checks if the device can pick up useful breath sounds to help doctors decide on care.
