This trial tests whether a remote exercise program can help people with cystic fibrosis become more active and improve their heart health. You would exercise from home with guidance from a research team.
This study measures how often people with cystic fibrosis who take elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) experience breathing limitations during exercise and what factors are linked to this.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean-style diet can improve gastrointestinal health in children with cystic fibrosis. It requires families to follow the diet for 6 months and attend regular clinic visits.
This study tests whether combining chest wall vibration therapy (a machine that gently vibrates your chest to loosen mucus) with exercise can improve coughing and breathing in people with cystic fibrosis. The goal is to see if this combination helps clear your lungs better than standard treatment alone.
