Breathing exercises with and without balloon blowing for TB in children
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a fun balloon-blowing exercise to a standard breathing technique helps children with tuberculosis clear mucus from their lungs more easily. It compares two groups: one using the breathing technique alone, and one using it together with balloon blowing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Is between 8 and 14 years old
- Has been diagnosed with tuberculosis

This study tests new ways to diagnose and monitor tuberculosis (TB) in children under 15 who might have TB in their lungs. The goal is to improve how we find and treat TB so children get better faster.
This trial compares three types of breathing exercises to help children with pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs) recover after a chest tube is placed. The exercises aim to improve lung function and make breathing easier.
This study tests a therapy that uses chest wall oscillations to help clear mucus from the lungs of children with bronchiectasis (a chronic lung condition not caused by cystic fibrosis). It aims to improve breathing and reduce symptoms.
This study looks at whether breathing exercises combined with exercise training can improve how much and how well you can breathe during activity in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. It may help by improving breathing efficiency and exercise tolerance, but you must be stable and healthy enough to safely exercise.
This study tests whether adding special breathing exercises that strengthen the muscles you use to breathe out, on top of standard lung rehabilitation, helps people with bronchiectasis feel better and breathe easier.
This trial tests a special exercise and breathing program for people who still have lung problems after being treated for tuberculosis. If you join, you may get this program, which could help you breathe easier and do more in your daily life.
