Summary

This study tests whether a nebulizer or a standard inhaler delivers albuterol better to improve breathing in women with LAM, a rare lung disease. About 100 women with reduced lung function will stay overnight for 3 days to try each method. The goal is to see which approach opens the airways more effectively.
