NCT ID NCT07652268
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a nurse-led home service that supports parents in managing symptoms of children who need breathing assistance at home. About 80 parents will receive home visits, guidance, and check-ins from a nurse over three months. The goal is to see if this boosts parents' confidence and ability to care for their child, while also understanding what helps or hinders the program.
