Salt Water Mist for Bronchiolitis in Babies
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mist of salt water (3% hypertonic saline) helps babies with bronchiolitis breathe easier compared to a standard salt water mist. It aims to find a simple, safe way to treat this common lung infection in infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between birth and 2 years old.
- Your child must have a doctor's diagnosis of bronchiolitis (a lung infection with cough and trouble breathing).
- Your child cannot be on a breathing machine or be critically ill.
- Your child cannot have long-term health problems like kidney, heart, or nerve disorders.
- Your child cannot have already taken steroid or breathing medicines for this illness.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether giving babies an “isotonic saline” (salt-water mist, like a very mild saline solution) can help children with bronchiolitis symptoms. It may help by safely loosening mucus and improving breathing, compared with standard care.
This study compares two treatments for bronchiolitis in infants: a saltwater solution (3% hypertonic saline) and a common breathing medicine (salbutamol). The goal is to see which one helps babies breathe easier.
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 trial compares two breathing treatments—hypertonic saline and adrenaline—for children with severe bronchiolitis in the pediatric intensive care unit. The goal is to see which works better to help them breathe easier.
This study tests whether continuously breathing in a fine mist of salt water combined with warm, moist air helps make thick lung secretions easier to clear. You'd be hospitalized and have a lung condition that causes lots of mucus buildup.
