Saltwater mist for clearing mucus in primary ciliary dyskinesia
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older and have a genetic diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
- Your lung function is better than 30% of what is expected for your age, height, and sex.
- You are able to exercise for at least 20 minutes at the screening visit.
- You have not had major blood in your sputum (more than 60 ml) in the last 3 months.
- You have not had a recent lung flare-up or changed your lung medications within the last 4 weeks.
- You do not need extra oxygen (unless you only use it at night) and you do not smoke or have a significant smoking history.

This study looks at how the airways in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) react to certain triggers. It aims to understand if these airways are more sensitive, which could help improve treatment for breathing problems.
This study tests whether a breathing test called nasal nitric oxide can help improve care for people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) or related lung/sinus problems. The goal is to see if the test can better guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
This trial tests whether a stay at a thermal spa can improve symptoms of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), a genetic lung condition. It's for adults with stable PCD who haven't had a recent infection or spa treatment.
This study tracks the health of children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (a rare condition affecting how tiny hairs in the lungs and sinuses move). By collecting information and samples, researchers hope to learn more about this disease in Chinese children.
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 (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.
