Home Use of Mechanical Insufflation/Exsufflation Devices in Neuromuscular Diseases
An observational study of Neuromuscular Diseases, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois at 1 site in Switzerland.
Trial 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.

About this study
Official title: Predictors of Home Use of Mechanical Insufflation/Exsufflation Devices in Neuromuscular Patients: a Cross-sectional Study
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.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Neuromuscular Diseases, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois at 1 site in Switzerland.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Adherence to MI-E (reported) (time frame: 12 months, or since treatment initiation (> 3 months)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
