Chest therapy for babies with bronchiolitis
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby has been diagnosed with bronchiolitis (a lung infection with wheezing or crackling sounds).
- Your baby has a crackling sound heard in the lungs when a doctor listens with a stethoscope.
- Your baby does not have any condition that makes chest therapy unsafe, like a recent bone fracture or surgery.
- Your baby is not currently on a breathing tube and in the intensive care unit.

This trial looks at how doctors treat babies hospitalized with bronchiolitis. It aims to understand which treatments are really needed and where care could be improved. If your baby was recently admitted for bronchiolitis, this study might help future babies get better, simpler care.
This study tests whether lavender essential oil chest wraps help babies hospitalized with bronchiolitis breathe easier and recover faster. If effective, it could offer a natural way to soothe breathing difficulties.
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
This study looks at how children with bronchiolitis (a common lung infection in babies) respond to breathing treatments. It will also check if genes or other traits play a role. The goal is to better understand which treatments work best.
This study looks at whether simple breathing checklists can help doctors tell how sick a child with bronchiolitis is. If your child is in the hospital with this condition, the results might help doctors provide the best care.
This study compares two treatments for infants with bronchiolitis: a salty mist (3% hypertonic saline) and a breathing medicine (salbutamol). Both treatments help open airways, and the goal is to see which one works better to help your child breathe easier.
