NCT06557824 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: AWF-EDEL 1/2024
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 415
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this retrospective study is to learn about the effects of rehabilitation and treatment stays combined with speleotherapy in children with asthma. Medical records of 415 patients with this clinical diagnosis were analyzed and the main question was: • Does speleotherapeutic intervention increase distance in 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and influence spirometry parameters and fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FeNO) in children with asthma?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Forced expiratory flow in 1 second

  Forced expiratory flow in 1 second, pp=percent predicted (FEV1 \[pp\]) to assess the pulmonary function in children with asthma before and after speleotherapeutic intervention.

  January 2022 and October 2023

• 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

  6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance was measured to assess exercise tolerance in children with asthma before and after speleotherapeutic intervention.

  January 2022 and October 2023

• Peak expiratory flow (PEFR [pp])

  Peak expiratory flow (PEFR \[pp\]) to assess the pulmonary function in children with asthma before and after speleotherapeutic intervention.

  January 2022 and October 2023

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FeNO)

  January 2022 and October 2023
