Remote physiotherapy for kids with lung disease: a new hope?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis 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 …

Could a simple saltwater mist make breathing easier for lung patients?
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis 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…

Can we spot hidden muscle loss in kids with a rare lung condition?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis 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…

Could exercise be a new way to clear lungs in PCD?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis 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…
