Measuring lung function with oscillometry in children
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how a newer breathing test (oscillometry) compares to the standard one in children during exercise. It may help doctors better understand lung function in kids with breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 5 and 16 years old.
- They must be referred by a pediatric lung specialist for an exercise challenge test.
- Both the oscillometry (gentle sound wave) and spirometry (blowing) breathing tests must be done successfully and give consistent results.
- The study is only for children who can complete both tests properly — not just one.
- They must be having the test between January 2023 and April 2026.

This trial uses a special breathing test to measure how your airways react. It helps doctors understand airway tone and reactivity, which may relate to conditions like asthma.
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 study tests whether recording your child's cough and breath sounds, along with a simple questionnaire, can help doctors better diagnose respiratory (lung and breathing) illnesses in children. The research team will compare children with respiratory symptoms to healthy children to develop a diagnostic tool.
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 for adults referred by their GP who may have asthma or were given an asthma diagnosis without proper testing. It aims to improve how asthma is diagnosed.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
