Can a simple scale help kids breathe easier?
NCT ID NCT05500833
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create and test a better way to measure breathing difficulty (dyspnea) in children aged 6 to 17. Researchers will use special questionnaires to see if they can accurately describe the symptom, which could lead to improved treatment and follow-up for kids with lung problems. The study involves 400 children with acute or chronic breathing issues.
