NCT ID NCT07451899
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how different types of tuberculosis affect lung function and physical capacity in teenagers who have recovered from the disease. Researchers will measure lung function with a breathing test and walking ability with a 6-minute walk test in 20 adolescents aged 10-18. The goal is to understand the long-term breathing challenges these teens face.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors better understand and predict breathing and physical limitations in teens who have had tuberculosis.
What could go wrong
This is a very small observational study (20 people) that only looks for links, not treatments. It may not apply to all teens with post-TB lung disease.
