Buteyko breathing for asthma in children
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special breathing technique called Buteyko to see if it helps children ages 7–17 whose asthma isn't well controlled. The technique teaches slower, shallower breathing to reduce asthma symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your asthma is not controlled or only partly controlled.
- You use a bronchodilator (asthma medicine like an inhaler or pill) prescribed by a pediatrician.
- You and your parent or caregiver are willing to stick with the study until the end and will sign a consent form.
- You can understand and follow instructions given in the study.

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 supervised exercise program can help children with asthma breathe better and feel stronger. It is for children whose asthma is stable—meaning no recent attacks or medicine changes—and who are healthy enough to exercise safely.
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 is testing a new way to diagnose asthma in children and teens using simple breathing tests. If your regular breathing test wasn't clear, this might give a more accurate answer.
This trial studies how well a special breathing test (forced oscillations) works during a methacholine challenge in children. It may help doctors better measure breathing sensitivity and guide treatment decisions.
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.
