Electrifying Chronic Bronchitis Away

Sending electricity pulsing through your throat may permanently cure your Chronic Bronchitis.

It only takes a few minutes. And only requires one session.

This is according to a new study presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference.

Bronchial rheoplasty is a procedure designed to reduce the amount of mucus that builds up in the airways. Doctors use an electrical pulse to target the cells that produce excess mucus. This process clears out the airways, improving airflow and reducing chronic coughing.

To test the effectiveness of this procedure, the researchers recruited 52 adults diagnosed with chronic bronchitis with cough and phlegm scores above seven.

They first conducted a CT scan to check the number and density of mucus plugs in the participants’ airways, which refers to parts of the airways that are partially or completely blocked by mucus buildup.

They then performed the procedure, after which they repeated the CT scan six months later.

Thirty-five patients showed mucus plugs. Of each participant’s total of 18 airway segments, they found an average of 4.3 blocked segments.

This is what they found six months later after the procedure.

1. The average mucus plugging score decreased from blocking 4.3 to 3.4 airway segments.

2. 20 patients with mucus plugging (57% of them) improved by one segment or more.

3. 65% of patients had no mucus plugging plugs six months later, versus only 17 before the procedure.

4. Participants’ airway volume increased by 7.4%, meaning better airflow.

5. Participants reported fewer bronchitis symptoms, feeling more comfortable in their daily lives, with reduced coughing and fewer flare-ups.

The procedure involves a doctor placing a thin, flexible electrode into your airways through a bronchoscope. That electrode then delivers non-thermal electric pulses to the cells that produce mucus, damaging them and disrupting their activity.

This is probably not a pleasant procedure, but it is minimally invasive and, as seen above, it is pretty effective at unblocking some airway segments.

This is not a thoroughly tested procedure yet, so we don’t know about side effects.
