Home or hospital physiotherapy for bronchiectasis efficiency
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares how well breathing/airway physiotherapy works when done at home versus in a hospital for people with bronchiectasis. It may help determine which approach is easier and works best while you’re stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You can sign an informed consent form
- You have bronchiectasis and it is currently stable (not worsening)
- Your diagnosis was confirmed by a CT scan of the chest (HRCT)
- You do not have heart failure that is getting worse, or blood pressure that is not controlled
- You are not already exercising regularly, and no other conditions are blocking exercise

This study tests whether adding a special breathing-muscle training program to standard pulmonary rehabilitation can help people with bronchiectasis breathe better and feel stronger.
This trial tests whether a breathing muscle exercise can help people with bronchiectasis breathe easier. It looks at how the exercise affects your ability to cough and clear mucus.
This trial tests a fun interactive game and device to help children with bronchiectasis improve their breathing and lung health. It is designed for children who are stable and have not had recent infections or treatments.
This study tests whether rehabilitation exercises done online at home can help people with bronchiectasis (a lung condition causing chronic airway damage) improve their lung function and quality of life. You'll do guided exercises remotely instead of traveling to a clinic.
This study looks at what makes patients with COPD more or less likely to accept doing lung rehabilitation at home using video calls. It aims to improve future programs to better fit patients' needs.
This trial tests whether combining energy-saving techniques with pursed lip breathing can improve quality of life in people with bronchiectasis (a lung condition where airways widen and fill with mucus).
