Remote Pulmonary Function Testing and Nurse Coaching in ALS

ALS Clinical Trial

Official title:
Remote Pulmonary Function Testing and Nurse Respiratory Health Coaching in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Clinical Trial Summary

Comparison of respiratory outcomes in patients receiving telemedicine-guided remote pulmonary function testing (rPFT) with or without the additional support of nurse coaching. This is a randomized controlled study which assesses the effects rPFT and coaching on respiratory outcomes and quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a two-arm, randomized study to determine 1) whether weekly monitoring of respiratory function can lead to timelier initiation of NIV and 2) whether structured nurse coaching leads to improved self-efficacy for managing disease and better maintenance of respiratory health. For enrollees in both arms, standard FVC and MIP measurements obtained approximately every three months by the respiratory therapist during ALS Clinic are supplemented with self-administered rPFTs performed weekly. Enrollees in the rPFT+NRHC (nurse respiratory health coaching) arm will additionally receive monthly coaching with the study nurse via telehealth. Outcomes include measures of quality of life and self-efficacy for managing disease. ;
