Lung function and frailty in children with esophageal atresia
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares breathing, muscle strength, and frailty in children who had esophageal atresia repair with healthy children. It aims to understand how this condition affects lungs and everyday physical abilities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 6 and 18 years old.

This study looks at teenagers born with esophageal atresia (a birth defect where the esophagus doesn't connect to the stomach) to see how they are doing in the long term. It uses special tests to understand health patterns and may help improve care for others with this condition.
This study looks at breathing, chest and belly movement, and exercise ability in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Muscular Atrophy, as well as healthy people. The goal is to compare these functions to help understand how these diseases affect the body.
This study looks at symptoms, breathing problems, and frailty in people with allergic or eosinophilic asthma. It aims to understand how these factors relate to each other.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (functional inspiratory muscle training) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. If you are between 18 and 80, have completed your lung cancer treatment, and are now in remission, this program may improve your breathing and strength.
This study looks at how hard it is for children to breathe and how their breathing muscles work, using specific breathing-related tests. It may help doctors better understand breathing problems and choose care more effectively.
This study looks at how obesity affects breathing and physical function. It tests whether a special exercise program can improve lung and muscle strength in people with obesity who have a restrictive breathing pattern.
