Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The present project will be a single-blind , randomized, controlled trial of 12-month daily performing chest physiotherapy compared with usual care, followed by a 3-month intervention-free in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
Intervention group will perform daily autonomous airway clearance techniques (positive expiratory pressure technique through Acapella device and autogenic drainage technique). Patients will receive professional sessions once a month.
Control group will receive their usual care and educational sessions about their disease. Physiotherapist will call them once a month.
During the study period the patients' pharmacological treatment remained unchanged

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Usual care
Subjects will receive the usual medical care in accordance with Spanish non cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis guidelines.
In addition they will receive educational sessions about their disease and their pharmacology treatment.
|
|
Experimental: Chest physiotherapy plus usual care
Subjects will introduce chest physiotherapy as part of their daily treatment
|
Subjects will perform daily chest physiotherapy during at least 30 minutes.
Patients will perform a slow expiratory airway clearance technique combined with positive expiratory pressure device (Acapella device, Murray et al.)
Each patient will receive 12 supervised professional sessions (once a month).
