Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to examine the effects of a digital game designed for respiratory training in childhood asthma. Fifteen children aged 8-14 years with asthma were included in the study. There were two groups a digital game group (n=9) and a control group (n=6). Respiratory training was given to the digital game group with a digital game. The control group was followed with medication. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and after 3 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Asthma is a chronic obstructive disease that is common in children worldwide. This study aims to examine the effects of a digital game designed for respiratory training in childhood asthma.

Fifteen children aged 8-14 years with asthma were included in the study. There were two groups a digital game group (n=9) and a control group (n=6). Demographic information of the children was recorded. Pulmonary function test (PFT) was evaluated with a portable spirometer (Spirobank MIR), the quality of life of the children was evaluated with the Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and psychological status was evaluated with the child depression scale. Respiratory training was given to the digital game group with a digital game. The control group was followed with medication. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and after 3 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Digital game group

In addition to routine drug use, children of the digital game group were followed up with 15 sessions of 15 minutes of digital games for respiratory training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Digital Game Application

Intervention Type DEVICE

The digital game contains brief information about the respiratory system adapted to children, and it is a game whose duration can be adjusted manually to follow the treatment process of the patient, taking into account the ½ ratio in the inhalation and exhalation process in the clinic.

Use of medication for asthma

Intervention Type DRUG

The children continued to take their current asthma medication on the same schedule. The drugs used by the children were zespira and ventolin.

Routine medical treatment group

The children continued their current asthma treatment in the same way. They did not receive any extra treatment.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Use of medication for asthma

Intervention Type DRUG

The children continued to take their current asthma medication on the same schedule. The drugs used by the children were zespira and ventolin.
