Airway clearance therapy for children with non-CF bronchiectasis
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis not due to cystic fibrosis.
- It has been at least 48 hours since the last coughing up of blood or fever.
- Your child must not have conditions like severe calcium deficiency (osteoporosis), bleeding disorders, recent surgery on the brain, eyes, chest, or neck, collapsed lung (pneumothorax), blood clot in the lungs, or a rib fracture.

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 a home-based digital physiotherapy program for children with chronic lung diseases (like bronchiectasis) to see if it improves their breathing and quality of life. Your child would do exercises at home using a device, guided online, which could help them stay active and manage their condition.
This trial tests a home-use device called BiWaze Clear, which helps clear mucus from your lungs. It is for people with bronchiectasis (including those with cystic fibrosis) who have had recent lung infections and can use the device at home.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval exercise (short bursts of vigorous activity) is safe and helpful for people with bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition. If you join, you will do supervised exercise sessions to see if it improves your fitness and quality of life.
This study compares two methods to clear mucus from the lungs in people with cystic fibrosis: one using a mechanical device and one done by hand. It aims to see which technique works better to help you breathe easier.
This study compares two breathing techniques to help clear mucus from your lungs: a routine set of breathing exercises and a handheld device called Aerobika. If you have frequent flare-ups, this might help improve your breathing and reduce those episodes.
