Saltwater mist for babies with bronchiolitis
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing in a salty mist helps babies with bronchiolitis recover faster than a plain water mist. It could ease breathing and reduce hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is aged between 0 and 24 months
- A doctor has diagnosed bronchiolitis, with signs like trouble breathing and a chest x-ray showing it
- The bronchiolitis is moderate, with a severity score of 2 or 3, not too mild or severe
- Your baby is not on a breathing machine and has no other serious health conditions
- Your baby is not already taking steroids or inhalers for the illness

This study tests whether montelukast, a medicine that helps reduce airway inflammation, can improve symptoms of acute bronchiolitis (a common lung infection in babies) when given early. It may help babies breathe easier and recover faster.
This study compares two treatments for infants with bronchiolitis: a salty mist (3% hypertonic saline) and a breathing medicine (salbutamol). Both treatments help open airways, and the goal is to see which one works better to help your child breathe easier.
This trial tests whether giving babies saltwater (isotonic saline) as a mist can help them breathe easier when they have bronchiolitis, a common lung infection in infants. The treatment is simple and may reduce symptoms like coughing and trouble breathing.
This trial tests whether a seawater spray can help clear blocked noses in babies with their first episode of bronchiolitis. The goal is to see if it improves breathing and keeps babies out of the hospital.
This study tests whether breathing in a salty mist (saline) while the air is warm and moist helps your lungs clear mucus better. You would need to be a healthy adult without any lung disease, and you'd do a simple breathing test to check your lung health.
This study tests whether breathing a saltwater mist can make lung mucus thinner and easier to cough up in people with conditions like COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, or primary ciliary dyskinesia. It may help improve breathing and reduce discomfort from thick mucus.
