Pursed-lip breathing for children with pneumonia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific breathing technique (pursed-lip breathing) helps children ages 3 to 4 recover from pneumonia and get ready to leave the hospital sooner. It compares the breathing exercise to usual care only.

This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
This trial tests a treatment plan for children with pneumonia who can be treated at home. It aims to find the best way to help kids get better faster and avoid complications.
This study looks at a urine test for pneumonia in children aged 12 to 24 months. It aims to see if the test can help diagnose pneumonia better, especially in those with symptoms like fever, cough, and fast breathing.
This study compares two breathing exercise methods (blow bottle and Acapella) combined with diaphragmatic breathing to help people recover from pneumonia. The goal is to see which approach works better for clearing mucus and improving breathing.
This trial tests if adding a probiotic to standard pneumonia treatment helps children ages 6-36 months recover better in the hospital.
This trial studies a new testing method (HCAP-Pcr) for people with pneumonia caught in the hospital or other healthcare settings. Doctors will use a special lung washing procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage to quickly identify the cause of the infection, which could help guide treatment faster.
