U.S., Nov. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07909018) titled 'Incidence and Risk Factors of Pneumothorax in Patients With Neuromuscular Diseases' on Oct. 26.
Brief Summary: Neuromuscular diseases can cause weakness of the respiratory muscles, leading to respiratory pump failure and respiratory insufficiency. Compensation for respiratory pump weakness and/or impaired cough is achieved using devices that apply pressure to increase airflow and ensure effective ventilation. This technique can cause pneumothorax (separation of the lung from the chest wall), which can have potentially serious consequences.
We aim to determine whether pneumothorax is a frequent complication in this population. The re...
