What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether special breathing techniques called neurophysiological facilitation of respiration can improve oxygen levels and shorten hospital stays in children aged 6 months to 2 years with pneumonia. The techniques involve gentle stretches and co-contraction of the abdomen, applied once daily for five days. Researchers will compare these to standard chest physical therapy to see which helps children breathe easier and go home sooner.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
respiratory neurophysiological facilitation techniques
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple breathing techniques could become a standard part of pneumonia care for young children, potentially shortening hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 children, so results may not apply to all cases. The techniques may not improve outcomes compared to standard chest therapy.
