ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a special breathing technique called neurophysiological facilitation to see if it helps children with pneumonia recover faster. Pneumonia is a lung infection that can make it hard for kids to breathe. The researchers want to find out if this breathing method can improve how well the lungs work (measured by blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels), reduce how severe the illness is, and shorten the time children need to stay in the hospital.

The trial is open to children between 6 months and 2 years old who have been diagnosed with pneumonia and are medically stable during the study. Children who have serious medical problems, ongoing seizures, or weak bones will not be able to join. If your child participates, they will receive this special breathing support while staying in the hospital, and doctors will carefully monitor their breathing and overall health. This study is not yet enrolling patients but aims to find new ways to help young children recover more quickly from pneumonia.
