NCT04169282

Brief Summary

This study aims to determine if an expiratory resistance device that delivers non-invasive positive expiratory pressure (nPEP) will reduce or stop coughing, reduce airway resistance and improve quality of life in patients with tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) who are not candidates for tracheal stenting.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Cough Severity as Measured by the Cough Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    The primary objective is to determine if use of the nPEP device will change cough severity. Responses to the Cough VAS range from 0-100 mm, with higher scores corresponding to worse outcomes.

    Baseline, two weeks

  • Change in Quality of Life as Measured by the Cough-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (CQLQ)

    The CQLQ score ranges from 28 to 112, with higher scores corresponding to worse outcomes.

    Baseline, two weeks

  • Change in Quality of Life as Measured by the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ)

    The LCQ score ranges from 19 to 133, with lower scores corresponding to worse outcomes.

    Baseline, two weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Proximal Airway Reactance at 5 Hz (X5) as Assessed by Impulse Oscillometry

    Baseline, two weeks

Study Arms (1)

nPEP Recipients

EXPERIMENTAL

Single-patient, adjustable expiratory resistance device that provides positive pressure (5 to 20 cm H2O) during expiration

Device: nPEP (non-invasive positive expiratory pressure) mask

Interventions

Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) mask

nPEP Recipients
