NCT01509235

Brief Summary

In the current study, we designed a cross-over, open label, randomized controlled clinical trial that aim to investigate the superiority of physical exercise coupled with self drainage to a chest physiotherapy in stable cystic fibrosis children. We hypothesized that CF children undergoing physical exercise coupled to self drainage will increase the amount of expectorate secretions compared to conventional CP course, while being more satisfied and without worsening their pulmonary function status.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • weight of sputum that was expectorated

    The Physiotherapist collected all sputum excreted from the beginning of the session and during the first hour.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • patient's satisfaction

    12 months

Study Arms (2)

1. Exercise testing and self drainage session

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: Chest physiotherapy

2. Chest physiotherapy (CP) session

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Chest physiotherapy

Interventions

The whole exercise session consisted of three short period of exercise of 5 minutes each entirely done under the physiotherapists' supervision (FA).
