Immune & respiratory health in Down syndrome kids with pneumonia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.

This study tests whether a special type of therapy using a trampoline (called rebound therapy) can help improve breathing and lung function in children with Down syndrome. It may help your child breathe better and get stronger.
This study is looking at how the immune system changes over time in people with Down syndrome, and how it may be affected by removal of the thymus gland. The goal is to understand why people with Down syndrome may age faster or have different immune health.
This study looks at the nutritional health of children with Down syndrome ages 2 to 5. It aims to find out if these kids have any special nutrition needs and how to better support their growth.
This trial looks at how well non-invasive breathing machines help children with Down syndrome who have obstructive sleep apnea. It tracks their health and sleep over time to see if the treatment works and improves daily life.
This trial tests whether a special low-intensity laser treatment can help boost the immune system and fight pneumonia in children with Down syndrome. Researchers want to see if this approach might help children recover better from their first pneumonia infection.
This study looks at how gut bacteria, immune markers, and trace elements in the blood relate to respiratory infections in children. It aims to better understand why some children get sick more often, which could lead to better treatments.
