New treatment option for Neuromuscular Diseases
Official title Respiratory Muscles and Work of Breathing in Children
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05051254
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Respiratory muscle testing allows a quantitative assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscles in children of any age with primary or secondary respiratory muscle impairment, in order to better understand the pathophysiology of respiratory impairment and guide therapeutic management. The use of an invasive technique (esogastric probe) makes it possible to specifically explore the diaphragm, the accessory inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles in order to detect dysfunction or paralysis of these muscles, and to estimate the work of breathing in order to better guide the respiratory management.
