Summary

This study is testing whether using an oscillating PEP (OPEP) device—a handheld breathing tool that helps clear mucus—can improve quality of life for people with bronchiectasis. Researchers will give questionnaires to 60 children (ages 8+) and adults before and after they start using the device. The goal is to see if the device makes daily life easier and if patients stick with using it.

Active substance: oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) device
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that using an OPEP device improves daily life and treatment adherence for people with bronchiectasis.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage observational study (60 participants) that only measures quality of life through questionnaires, not clinical outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients.
