Breathing test for children with wheeze or asthma
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a new breathing test works for children who have wheeze or asthma. It helps doctors understand if this test can be used easily in the hospital or clinic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children aged 5 to 15 years old who came to the hospital with wheezing, asthma, or bronchospasm.
- Children aged 5 to 15 years old who are scheduled for routine lung function testing.
- The child must be able to breathe into a mouthpiece for 90 seconds.
- The child must not have severe breathing trouble that is life-threatening.
- The child must not be in another research study that doesn't allow this one.

This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
This study follows children and teens who are being checked for asthma for the first time. It aims to learn more about the early symptoms of asthma to improve diagnosis and treatment.
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 collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
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 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.
