Salty mist to reduce breathing flare-ups in neuromuscular disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether daily treatment with a salty mist (hypertonic saline) can reduce breathing flare-ups in people with neuromuscular diseases or neurodisabilities. It aims to see if this simple treatment can help you stay healthier and avoid hospitalizations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 5 years old or older.
- You have a neuromuscular disease (a condition affecting the nerves and muscles) or a neurodisability diagnosed by a doctor.
- You have had at least one chest infection or breathing flare-up needing antibiotics in the last year.
- You can breathe in the salty mist given by a nebuliser.

This study tests whether breathing in a salty mist (saline) while the air is warm and moist helps your lungs clear mucus better. You would need to be a healthy adult without any lung disease, and you'd do a simple breathing test to check your lung health.
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 breathing in a salty mist helps babies with bronchiolitis recover faster than a plain water mist. It could ease breathing and reduce hospital stay.
This study tests whether a saltwater mist (hypertonic saline) can help clear mucus from the lungs in adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). If it works, it could improve lung function and make breathing easier.
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 study tests whether breathing a saltwater mist can make lung mucus thinner and easier to cough up in people with conditions like COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, or primary ciliary dyskinesia. It may help improve breathing and reduce discomfort from thick mucus.
