Clinical and Autonomic Efficacy of Digital-Gamified Diaphragmatic Training in Pediatric Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Adherence to traditional pediatric pulmonary rehabilitation exercises is often low due to their repetitive nature, leading to poor respiratory outcomes. Digital-Gamified Diaphragmatic Training (DGDT) integrates real-time biofeedback into smartphone applications to turn breathing exercises into interactive games, encouraging children to practice more consistently. The purpose of this prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a 12-week home-based DGDT protocol compared to standard mechanical incentive spirometry among pediatric patients aged 6 to 14 years with chronic respiratory conditions. The primary goal is to assess changes in key spirometric parameters-specifically Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), and the FEV1/FVC ratio-to determine if gamified digital training offers physiological benefits over standard rehabilitation methods.
