Can a home breathing program help kids with asthma breathe easier?
NCT ID NCT07558954
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a family-empowered pulmonary rehabilitation program for school-age children (6-12 years) with asthma. The program includes education, skills training, and home-based guidance. Researchers will compare it to standard care in 92 children to see if it improves asthma control and lung function over 12 weeks, with follow-ups up to 48 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- family-empowered pulmonary rehabilitation (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, home-based program to help children with asthma achieve better control of their symptoms and improve lung function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (92 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not be generalizable. The open-label design means both families and researchers know which group the child is in, which can bias results.

Inclusion Criteria:(All must be met) * School-aged children aged 6 to 12 years. * Meet the diagnostic criteria for asthma according to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Prevention of Bronchial Asthma in Children (2025 Edition). * Received regular inhaled asthma medications for at least 3 months, with moderate or better medication adherence (score ≥6 on the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale). * Pulmonary function test shows obstructive ventilatory dysfunction or small airway dysfunction. * The primary caregiver has good communication and literacy skills, can use smartphone applications (e.g., WeChat) proficiently, and is willing to participate in the study. * Written informed consent has been obtained from the participant and their legal guardian. Exclusion Criteria:(Any one leads to exclusion) * Children in acute asthma exacerbation. * Presence of other severe chronic diseases (e.g., congenital heart disease, neuromuscular disease, immunodeficiency disease, etc.). * Children with mental or psychological disorders who cannot cooperate. * Other conditions judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for participation in this study.
