Home Use of Mechanical Insufflation/Exsufflation Devices in Neuromuscular Diseases

Completed
Conditions
Neuromuscular Diseases
Interventions
Device: Mechanical insufflation/exsufflation device (MI-E)
Registration Number
NCT04729920
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois
Brief Summary

With this cross-sectional study of adult subjects with neuromuscular disease in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, we aim to explore MI-E adherence using self-report questionnaires and device data in order to identify the factors that influence the pattern of MI-E use and satisfaction with the treatment. Determining potential barriers to regular long-term home use of MI-E could help in identifying the patients who would benefit most from this therapy.
