Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Jet nebulizers have been the standard delivery system for aerosolized medications commonly prescribed to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients; however, these devices are inefficient and require an external pressurized gas source to operate. Vibrating mesh nebulizers have a significantly higher efficiency of delivering drugs to the lung compared to conventional jet or ultrasonic nebulizers because of the high fine particle fraction created by the rapid vibration. This post-market study will investigate the potential benefits of a vibrating mesh nebulizer compared a standard jet nebulizer. The study will include stable, ambulatory COPD patients who are currently using a jet nebulizer system. Participants will be asked to use each device for a period of 30 days. Patient preference and changes to quality of life will be evaluated.
