Active cycle of breathing technique versus oscillating PEP therapy versus walking with huffing during an acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis: a randomised, controlled trial protocol

Abstract: Background Airway clearance techniques (ACTs) for individuals with bronchiectasis are routinely prescribed in clinical practice and recommended by international guidelines, especially during an acute exacerbation. However, there is limited evidence of the efficacy of these techniques during an exacerbation to improve sputum expectoration, health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) or exercise tolerance. The primary aim of this study is to compare the effects of the active cycle of breathing techniq… Show more

“…Therefore, owing to the lack of etiological treatment, a rational integrated approach is advisable for this category of patients ( 17 , 18 ). A number of studies have focused on the positive impact and safety of using low-frequency vibrations and vibrations separately on respiratory function and on the body as a whole; however, no combination of them in one device that we attempted to study, including vibration in coronavirus disease exists ( 19 , 20 ).…”
