Breathing muscle strength in bronchiectasis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis (not caused by cystic fibrosis).
- You are not currently having a bad infection flare-up.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You do not have any muscle diseases or a history of stroke.
- You are not pregnant or have unstable heart disease.

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 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 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).
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 study tests whether adding a special breathing-muscle training program to standard pulmonary rehabilitation can help people with bronchiectasis breathe better and feel stronger.
