Sea spray might soothe sick Babies' breathing
NCT ID NCT06177197
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nose spray made from treated seawater can shorten the time babies (1 month to 1 year) have symptoms of bronchiolitis, compared to a standard saltwater spray. About 458 infants with their first, mild-to-moderate bout of bronchiolitis will take part. Parents will track symptoms daily to see which spray works better.
