Abstract | Individuals with cystic fibrosis are at risk for respiratory infections due to too much mucus in their airways. Airway clearance is therefore an important part of cystic fibrosis management. Increasing anecdotal evidence suggests that singing may support lung function and enhance quality of life of people with cystic fibrosis. We searched for trials using the standard search module of the Cochrane Cystic Fibrosis and Genetic Disorders Group, as well as extensive searches in the relevant databases and publications. We did not find any randomised controlled trials that evaluated the benefits of singing in people with cystic fibrosis. The effects of singing in addition to standard therapy for people with cystic fibrosis remain unknown. |
