Salty mist for clearer lungs in healthy adults
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Your lungs must be healthy with a normal breathing test (spirometry).
- You cannot currently smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products.
- You cannot have any lung disease like asthma or COPD.

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.
This trial studies whether inhaling hypertonic (very salty) saline helps treat nodular-bronchiectatic lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). It may help reduce ongoing infection and symptoms if you have the right type of MAC lung pattern and have not recently started the usual MAC treatments.
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.
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.
