Summary
This study tested a new wearable vest that combines vibrations and mild electrical stimulation to help people with chronic lung diseases like COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and asthma clear mucus from their airways. 21 adults used both the new vest and a standard vibrating vest to compare comfort and how much mucus they coughed up. The goal was to see if the new device works better and feels more comfortable.
