Buteyko breathing exercises for children with uncontrolled asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study teaches children aged 7-17 with not‑well-controlled asthma to practice Buteyko breathing – a technique to help them breathe more calmly and maybe reduce asthma symptoms. It's a simple, drug‑free addition to their usual asthma medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 17 years old.
- Your child's asthma is not well controlled (symptoms happen more than twice a week, or they wake up at night).
- Your child is already using a bronchodilator (a medicine that opens airways, like an inhaler) prescribed by a doctor.
- Your child can follow simple instructions, and you and your child agree to take part for the whole study.
- Your child has not done Buteyko or other special breathing exercises before.
- Your child is not in the hospital, and does not have serious heart or lung conditions or other major health issues.

This study looks at how an asthma-specific breathing training program affects children’s breathing and asthma control. It may help your care team understand who could benefit from inspiratory (breathing-in) training.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help children with asthma feel better and improve their breathing. It focuses on children whose asthma is well-controlled and who are not currently having flare-ups.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study compares two special breathing techniques—alternating which nostril you breathe through and a method called Buteyko breathing—to see which helps asthma patients breathe easier and improve lung function. You'll practice these techniques and we'll measure how well they work for you.
This trial tests a structured exercise programme designed to help children and young people with asthma improve their fitness and manage their condition better. Participation involves joining exercise sessions and providing feedback through focus groups.
This study looks at how to control and treat asthma in children and teenagers. It may help find better ways to manage asthma symptoms and treatment.
