The main purpose of 'Serious Games' (SG) is to provide opportunities for constructive learning and training. They are well-accepted instruments in therapeutic interventions and have been found to be efficient to improve cognitive areas, social interaction and motor skill function. The SG is expected to improve asthmatic children's behaviour by providing a positive psychosocial experience with positive effects on asthma outcomes. Participants will be subjected to SG as part of routine medical care, and researchers will study the effect of SG. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of an innovative SG on neurobehavioural patterns through a randomised controlled pilot study in adolescents with controlled asthma and on the modulation of the expression pattern of CTRA 'Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity'.
This is single-center cross-sectional mechanistic study in lean and obese children with moderate-severe asthma, followed by a randomized, SHAM-controlled trial of Inspiratory Training (IT). The primary outcome is to describe the contributions of inspiratory muscle dysfunction (IMD) and Small Airway Dysfunction (SAD) to obesity-related versus non-obesity-related asthma. The study will involve training (IT) for 8 weeks at three intensity levels (SHAM, low and high). Target dose: 150 inspirations three times weekly. The population includes 6 to 17-year-old children with moderate to severe asthma and with a body mass index qualifying as normal habitus (BMI 5th to 84th CDC percentile) or obese habitus (≥95th percentile BMI and less than 170% of the 95th CDC percentile). Participants will be involved for 10 weeks. The investigators will use analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to estimate and test the difference in mean values of baseline measures between obese and non-obese cohorts. Covariates will include age, sex (male/female), race/ethnicity, baseline asthma severity (NAEPP step 2 vs ≥3), and atopy status
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the optimal supportive treatment of bronchiolitis in infants from 0-12 months of age. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - To investigate whether isotonic saline should be used as supportive treatment for children with bronchiolitis, and if so, identify the optimal route of administration. The primary outcome is duration of hospitalization. - To investigate the current epidemiology of the viral pathogens causing bronchitis in children in Denmark, and to assess whether children infected with specific pathogens might benefit from treatment with isotonic saline. The children are randomized after inclusion through computer randomization to one of the 3 arms in the study: 1. Nebulized isotonic saline 2. Nasal irrigation with isotonic saline 3. No treatment with saline The investigators will compare treatment with saline (both methods) with no treatment, and the investigators will also compare the two methods of delivery of saline (nebulized vs. nasal irrigation).
Study of the clinical evolution at 10 years of children from the SAMP cohort (severe asthma, eosinophilic or not, allergic or not) in order to understand the different possible evolutions of these phenotypes at different ages.
The goal of this research trial is to: 1) Solidify a population health SBAT implementation strategy with our longstanding community collaborators, 2) Perform a district-wide hybrid type 3, stepped-wedge, cluster randomized trial, and 3) Assess the supportive resource utilization and essential features of SBAT to extend sustainability and fidelity in a cost-effective manner.
The aim of this study will explore if the specific carbohydrate diet has an effect on asthma control in children and if it will affect the frequency, severity, and duration of asthma and thus provide it as a potential complementary treatment option for them.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether electromyography of the diaphragm during sleep in asthmatic children can be used to objectively monitor asthma control.
Poor adherence and self-management in children with asthma results in poorly controlled asthma and increased morbidity. Pharmacists could take important roles in delivering asthma education to ensure that children can manage their disease. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of improving asthma control, knowledge, and quality of life. An open, randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacist-led digital-based asthma self-management education for children with asthma compared with paper-based asthma self-management education. Recruitment of the participants will be held at the outpatient ward of the Department of Paediatrics in 4 public hospitals in Bali Province, Indonesia, including Sanglah Public Hospital, Denpasar City; Wangaya Public Hospital, Denpasar City; Mangusada Public Hospital, Badung Regency; and Udayana University Hospital, Badung Regency. Participants will be provided with informed consent, then randomly divided into either a control group or an intervention group. The following will be the hypotheses of the study: 1. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better asthma control compared to the control group. 2. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a greater improvement in asthma quality of life compared to the control group. 3. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better understanding of asthma knowledge in general compared to the control group. 4. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has a better performance in practicing inhaler techniques compared to the control group. 5. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program has fewer unscheduled visits to the hospital and less hospitalization compared to the control group. 6. The intervention group receiving the MIRACLE education program will be satisfied with the digital asthma education.
This study is a 24-week, randomized, parallel group comparative effectiveness study to evaluate the risk of stepping down therapy for patients with well-controlled asthma treated with combination Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and Leukotriene receptor antagonist（LTRA).
