Remote Pulmonary Function Testing and Nurse Respiratory Health Coaching in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating remote pulmonary function testing, standard pulmonary function testing, and 1 other intervention for ALS. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.

Interventions
Telemedicine delivery of pulmonary function testing in ALS, including Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP)
Standard clinical delivery of pulmonary function testing in ALS, including Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP)
Nurse Respiratory Health Coaching - The NRHC intervention follows the "teamlet" model described by Bennett et al. \[Bennett2010\], made up of the research coordinator who performs respiratory testing, and the nurse practitioner who coaches using the GROW (goals, realities, options, wrap-up) model.
