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.
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
