Study on breathing and energy saving for bronchiectasis patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two breathing techniques—a set of active cycle of breathing exercises (ACBT) and an Aerobika device—to see which helps people with bronchiectasis clear mucus better and have fewer lung infections. You may be eligible if you have frequent flare-ups and have not used the Aerobika device before.
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 an inhaled medication for people with bronchiectasis, a lung condition causing chronic cough and mucus. It first checks safety in healthy volunteers, then studies how the drug works in people with bronchiectasis.
This trial tests whether a special breathing exercise device can help people with bronchiectasis. You may qualify if you are between 18 and 30, have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis, and are feeling stable.
This study looks at how nutrition affects the course of bronchiectasis, a lung condition that causes coughing and frequent infections. It may help find ways to slow the disease down.
