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

- 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 special breathing exercises that strengthen the muscles you use to breathe out, on top of standard lung rehabilitation, helps people with bronchiectasis feel better and breathe easier.
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 study tests a home-based exercise and education program delivered over the internet for people with bronchiectasis. You'll do guided telerehabilitation sessions from home, which may help improve your breathing, strength, and quality of life.
This study tests whether learning special breathing techniques and energy-saving tips can improve quality of life for people with bronchiectasis. It aims to help you feel better and do more in your daily activities.
This trial tests a home-use device called BiWaze Clear, which helps clear mucus from your lungs. It is for people with bronchiectasis (including those with cystic fibrosis) who have had recent lung infections and can use the device at home.
This trial tests whether a breathing and exercise program done at home can lower COPD flare-ups and the chance of needing hospital care. It may help people with more severe COPD manage breathlessness and stay stable.
