New device aims to clear lungs better in cystic fibrosis
NCT ID NCT04010253
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a device called Simeox, which helps clear mucus from the lungs, against a standard manual breathing technique (autogenic drainage) in 31 adults with cystic fibrosis. The goal was to see which method better improves lung function and eases symptoms like cough and congestion. Researchers measured lung function before and after each session to compare the two approaches.

Active substance
Simeox device (airway clearance device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective or easier way to clear mucus from the lungs in cystic fibrosis, potentially improving breathing and reducing symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not work better than standard manual techniques.
