Remote physiotherapy for kids with lung disease: a new hope?
NCT ID NCT07376187
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 or continue their usual care. The goal is to see if digital services can make treatment easier and more effective.
