Chest physiotherapy for babies with bronchiolitis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests gentle chest physiotherapy techniques to help clear mucus from the lungs in babies with their first case of mild to moderate bronchiolitis. It aims to see if these techniques help babies breathe easier and recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is having their first bout of bronchiolitis.
- The breathing difficulty is mild to moderate (not severe).
- Your baby has never had a chronic lung disease or wheezing before.
- Your baby has no medical reason that would make chest physiotherapy unsafe.
- A parent or guardian must sign a consent form.

This trial tests whether a seawater spray can help clear blocked noses in babies with their first episode of bronchiolitis. The goal is to see if it improves breathing and keeps babies out of the hospital.
This trial tests whether gentle chest physiotherapy can help babies with bronchiolitis (a lung infection) recover better. It looks at how the therapy affects their breathing and overall health.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises given by a physical therapist can help infants under 1 year old who are hospitalized with mild or moderate bronchiolitis get better faster.
This study looks at children hospitalized with bronchiolitis (a lung infection that causes coughing and breathing trouble). It aims to understand what makes some children more likely to get very sick. By joining, researchers can learn more about risk factors and how to help children recover better.
This trial tests whether giving babies an “isotonic saline” (salt-water mist, like a very mild saline solution) can help children with bronchiolitis symptoms. It may help by safely loosening mucus and improving breathing, compared with standard care.
This study tests whether a mist of salt water (3% hypertonic saline) helps babies with bronchiolitis breathe easier compared to a standard salt water mist. It aims to find a simple, safe way to treat this common lung infection in infants.
