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 trial tests a decision-support tool called ALRITE that helps healthcare workers manage respiratory illnesses in young children. It aims to see if the tool improves care in primary health facilities in Uganda.
This study looks at how children's immune systems respond to serious lung infections and analyzes the germs causing the infection. Researchers hope to better understand why some children get sicker than others and how to improve treatment.
This study tests a digital stethoscope device that can help doctors better hear and identify lung problems in young children with cough or breathing trouble. The goal is to see if this tool improves how doctors diagnose respiratory infections and other lung conditions.
