This study tests whether children aged 6–12 with chronic lung infections (like bronchiectasis) can improve their exercise ability and lung clearance using online physiotherapy sessions. Over 12 weeks, 32 children will either receive remote guided breathing exercises and workouts …

This study tests a new CPR method called Bio-CPR, which synchronizes chest compressions with ventilation using a machine. Researchers will compare it to standard CPR in 408 adults who have a witnessed cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if this coordinated approach improves breath…

This study looks at whether adding a continuous saltwater mist to warm, humidified air can make thick lung mucus easier to clear. 35 adults hospitalized with lung conditions like COPD or cystic fibrosis will receive both treatments on separate days. Researchers will measure mucus…

This study investigates how common malnutrition and sarcopenia (muscle loss) are in children and adolescents with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare genetic condition affecting the lungs. Researchers will measure grip strength, body composition, and nutritional risk in 15 p…

This study asks whether children and adolescents with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) — a rare condition affecting the lungs — have poorer nutrition and muscle health than healthy children their age. Researchers will measure hand grip strength, jump power, and other physical and…

This study looks at how exercise and a saltwater mist (hypertonic saline) affect mucus clearance in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare lung condition where tiny hairs in the airways don't work properly. Researchers will measure how fast the lungs clear inhaled p…

This study works with patients and healthcare professionals to create educational resources about fertility and pregnancy for people with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD). The goal is to develop a patient-friendly guide and a toolkit for doctors. The study will involve 30 partici…
