An observational study in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, sponsored by University Hospital, Lille. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 18 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-22.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Lille · Observational
The objective is to understand how a population of adolescents - who have undergone diaphragm surgery within their first month of life (i.e. subjects who have been carriers of a rare impacting disease such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)) - engages in physical and sports activities and what can be the hindering factors as well as the factors facilitating these practices.
Based on self-questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, this research is a qualitative research in the field of human and social sciences.
The qualitative survey will make it possible to report on the experience of the disease of children and parents; in parallel, a complete medical evaluation of the subjects (clinical and para-clinical) will be carried out.
The analysis of the verbatim of the self-questionnaires and interviews with regard to the real physical capacities of the subjects, will be discussed.
93 studies on the registry are indexed under Hernias, Diaphragmatic, Congenital; 39 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 78 across 25 observational studies indexed under Hernias, Diaphragmatic, Congenital.
