Breathing exercise study for children with thalassemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests if a breathing exercise device (incentive spirometer) can improve lung function and daily activity in children with thalassemia who receive regular blood transfusions. It aims to help them breathe easier and be more active.
