Salt water spray to reduce breathing infections in muscle or nerve conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a daily salt water mist can help prevent lung infections in people with neuromuscular disease or neurodisability. It may reduce the need for antibiotics or hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a neuromuscular disease or neurodisability diagnosed by a doctor.
- You are 5 years old or older (adults can join too).
- You can tolerate breathing in a salt water mist (nebulised 6% hypertonic saline).
- You have had at least 1 lung infection in the past year that needed antibiotics (with or without a hospital stay).
- You are not already using a daily salt water mist treatment of any strength (3%, 5%, 6%, or 7%).

This trial tests whether breathing salt water vapor through a home nebulizer machine helps people with a specific type of lung infection (nontuberculous mycobacteria). The goal is to see if this simple treatment can improve breathing and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests whether inhaling a saltwater solution (hypertonic saline) twice a day for 12 weeks can help people with bronchiectasis who have a chronic cough and have had flare-ups in the past. It aims to see if this treatment reduces mucus and improves quality of life.
This study tests whether a mist of salt water (3% hypertonic saline) helps babies with bronchiolitis breathe easier compared to a standard salt water mist. It aims to find a simple, safe way to treat this common lung infection in infants.
This study tests whether continuously breathing in a fine mist of salt water combined with warm, moist air helps make thick lung secretions easier to clear. You'd be hospitalized and have a lung condition that causes lots of mucus buildup.
This study tests if breathing in a salty mist with warm, moist air can help clear mucus from the lungs. It's for people with healthy lungs to see how well it works.
This trial tests whether an isotonic saline (salt water) spray can safely relieve nasal congestion (stuffy or blocked nose) in babies and young children with colds, flu, allergies, or sinus inflammation. It aims to see if this simple, drug-free option helps symptoms like a blocked or runny nose.
