Study Shows Hypertonic Saline Treatment Benefits for People with Cystic Fibrosis Triggered by Neuron Activation
Inhaled hypertonic saline treatment (HTS), a concentrated salt solution, is a well-established therapy for CF patients and those with non-CF bronchiectasis. Among other benefits, this treatment lowers the frequency of CF exacerbation and improves lung function regardless of genotype, with evidence also indicating that it halts progression of mild CF lung disease.
A recent study found that stimulation of neurons accounts for approximately half of the beneficial production of airway surface liquid (ASL) induced by HTS. Read more about this study here.
Have you tried HTS? Did it help you? Are you interested in more information on this topic?
