Testing a new device for measuring lung function in children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that measures how well children's lungs work. It may help make breathing tests easier for kids aged 7 to 17.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 7 and 17 years old
- You are able to follow instructions and do breathing tests
- You have been referred for a lung function test by your doctor
- Your parent or guardian agrees to let you join
- You do not have a tracheostomy (a tube in your throat) or fluid in your lungs

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 is testing a digital stethoscope (a modern device that amplifies and records lung sounds) in young children who have a cough or trouble breathing. It does not test a medicine—just checks if the device can pick up useful breath sounds to help doctors decide on care.
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 is testing a new breathing device that may be as accurate as standard tests for diagnosing asthma and COPD. It could offer a simpler and quicker way to check your lung health.
This study looks at a new, easy breathing test called oscillometry to see if it can help doctors understand how children's lungs react to exercise. It may help find breathing problems that standard tests miss.
This study checks whether gender-affirming treatments change breathing/lung test results over time. It may help doctors understand any lung-related effects for transgender and gender-diverse people.
