Treating Bronchiolitis: How Babies Respond to Breathing Medicine
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child must be between 3 and 24 months old.
- A doctor must have diagnosed the child with bronchiolitis (a lung infection causing wheezing and coughing).

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.
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 follows babies under 12 months old who are hospitalized with bronchiolitis to understand their treatment and outcomes. It includes tracking RSV testing and a new immunization called nirsevimab, which may help protect against severe illness.
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 looks at how the germs in a baby's gut and their immune system respond to bronchiolitis (a common lung infection). If your baby is under 12 months and gets bronchiolitis during the RSV season, their participation could help us understand why some babies get very sick and others don't.
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.
