A Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing the Safety and Feasibility of Respiratory Muscle Training and Exercise Training in Children and Adolescents With Persistent Asthma

Study on Breathing and Exercise for Kids with Asthma

Recruiting
10-17 years
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates the safety and tolerability of a 6-week program combining Inspiratory Muscle Training and cardiovascular exercise for children and adolescents with asthma. Asthma is a condition where the airways narrow and swell, causing breathing difficulties. The study aims to understand how these exercises can improve the strength and endurance of respiratory muscles.

Participants will undergo specific training sessions designed to enhance their breathing capabilities and overall fitness. The study will monitor changes in respiratory muscle strength, exercise tolerance, and symptoms like shortness of breath. This will help explore the potential benefits of combining inspiratory muscle training with regular exercise.

  • Who can participate: Children and adolescents aged 10-17 years with clinician-diagnosed asthma and a sedentary lifestyle can participate. They must have a BMI in the 85th percentile or higher and a committed caregiver.
  • Study details: Participants will join a 6-week exercise program with inspiratory muscle training and cardiovascular exercises to improve breathing strength and endurance. A placebo is not used in this study.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
