Comparing lung and airway function in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares how the lungs and airways work in children and teens with primary ciliary dyskinesia (a rare condition that affects the tiny hair-like structures in the airways, making it hard to clear mucus) versus healthy children. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 18 years old.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (or you are a healthy child without any chronic illness).
- You have been feeling well (clinically stable) for at least 3 weeks.
- You can follow instructions for the breathing and movement tests.
- You do not have other health problems (like heart, nerve, or bone issues) that could affect the tests, and you do not smoke or recently quit smoking.

This study tests whether using air cleaners in your home can improve lung health for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) or primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). It takes place in Cyprus and requires you to stay at home most days.
This registry collects information from people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a condition that affects how the lungs and airways clear mucus. It helps researchers learn more about who has PCD, how it looks in real life, and any other health problems that may go along with it.
This study aims to create better educational materials about fertility for people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and their healthcare providers. It seeks input from patients, professionals, and support groups to design resources that improve understanding.
This study is a conversation-based research project to understand how reproductive issues affect adults with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), a rare lung condition. By sharing your experiences, you can help doctors and researchers better support patients like you.
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.
