e-Health program to prevent lung issues in cystic fibrosis patients
Official title: Effectiveness of an e-Health Program to Prevent Exacerbations in the Cystic Fibrosis Population: a Randomized Clinical Trial
Run by University of Valencia · NCT06313827 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new online program to see if it can help people with cystic fibrosis manage their lung health better than standard treatment alone.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals diagnosed with cystic fibrosis who have access to internet-enabled devices and have not experienced exacerbations in the last 30 days.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone lung transplantation or are on the waiting list, as well as those with active infections or cognitive impairments, may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a telematic assessment and monitoring protocol for individuals with cystic fibrosis. Participants will be divided into three groups: a control group receiving standard physiotherapy, a treatment group receiving standard physiotherapy with monitoring equipment training, and a follow-up group receiving both physiotherapy and telematic monitoring with physiotherapist feedback. The goal is to identify exacerbations early to prevent lung function decline and enhance quality of life.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly reduce exacerbations and improve the quality of life for cystic fibrosis patients.
How similar studies have gone: While telehealth approaches in chronic disease management are gaining traction, this specific application in cystic fibrosis is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
