Thermal Spa Treatment and Improvement of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a 3-week thermal spa treatment can improve quality of life and reduce ENT (ear, nose, and throat) symptoms in adults with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).

Are there improvements in hearing and lung function? In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A will begin with a 3-week spa treatment, followed by regular checkups for 6 months. Group B will start with standard care for 6 months, then receive the spa treatment and follow-up evaluations for another 6 months. All participants will: Undergo ENT and lung function evaluations (questionnaires, hearing tests, nasal swabs, spirometry) Visit one of two spa centers for a 3-week treatment period (without hospital stay) Be followed regularly over several months for checkups and tests Researchers will compare participants' symptoms and test results before and after the spa treatment to determine its benefits. Potential benefits: Participants may experience relief from nasal symptoms, fewer respiratory infections, improved hearing and breathing, and an overall better quality of life. Potential risks: There is a…
