Eligibility & Best Candidates
This integral supportive therapy is clinically oriented toward individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis who present with impaired mucociliary clearance and progressive decline in pulmonary function despite optimized conventional treatment. Optimal candidates are those with stable extrapulmonary comorbidities, no active malignancy, and the capacity to participate in adjunctive physical therapy. Patients in advanced respiratory failure with invasive ventilatory support are generally not considered candidates. A comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation determines appropriateness.
Best clinical results are observed in individuals with moderate disease severity (FEV₁ 40–70%) who demonstrate adherence to traditional pharmacologic and airway clearance techniques. Our approach is strictly adjunctive; we do not propose replacement of established CF care.
