Summary

This study tests whether wearing a special LED vest for 20 minutes twice a week can improve lung function and exercise ability in children aged 6 to 17 with mild to moderate asthma. The vest uses light to reduce inflammation without heat. Half the children will get the active vest, the other half a placebo (lights off). The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive approach can help manage asthma symptoms and improve quality of life.

Active substance: photobiomodulation (LED light therapy)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a safe, drug-free way to help children with asthma breathe easier and exercise more comfortably.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The placebo effect may be strong, and results may not apply to all children with asthma.
