New device may help kids with cystic fibrosis breathe easier

This study tested a new airway clearance device called Simeox in 40 children with cystic fibrosis (ages 8-18). Each child used both the new device and standard chest physiotherapy for one month each, in random order. The goal was to see if Simeox improves lung function and quality of life better than the usual treatment. The study is complete, and results will show if this new method is a safe and effective option for clearing mucus from the lungs.
