Testing a New Breathing Device in Children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that measures how well children breathe. It's for kids ages 7 to 17 who already need a breathing test and can cooperate with the testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 7 and 17 years old
- Be able to follow instructions for the breathing test
- Have a doctor's order for a breathing test (pulmonary function test)
- Have a parent or guardian who can give permission
- Not have a tracheostomy (a tube in the neck for breathing)
- Not have fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema)

This study compares a new breathing device to standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. If you have been referred for breathing tests because your doctor suspects asthma or COPD, you may be able to join.
This trial studies how well a special breathing test (forced oscillations) works during a methacholine challenge in children. It may help doctors better measure breathing sensitivity and guide treatment decisions.
This study tests a portable handheld device that measures airway function to help diagnose asthma. Researchers want to see if this device can accurately identify asthma in people with breathing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.
This trial tests a portable “positive pressure” breathing device in people with severe COPD to see how well it works and whether it’s safe. It may help if you have trouble breathing and meet the device and health requirements.
This study looks at how well a special device can be used in children to understand breathing problems related to chest and belly movement. It may help researchers improve care for kids who have breathing distress.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
