Chest physical therapy as treatment for cystic fibrosis is also called chest clapping or percussion. Chest physical therapy involves pounding your chest and back over and over again to dislodge the mucus from your lungs so that you can cough up the mucus.he goal of cystic fibrosis treatment is to: 1  Prevent and control infections in your lungs. 2  Loosen and remove the thick, sticky mucus from your lungs. 3  Prevent blockages in your intestines.
Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis began in 1990, when scientists successfully corrected faulty cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) genes.They did this by adding normal copies of the gene to laboratory cell cultures.In 1993, the first experimental CF gene therapy treatment was given to a patient with cystic fibrosis.Researchers modified a common cold virus to act as a delivery vehicle by carrying normal genes to the CFTR cells in the airways of the lung.lthough the first gene therapy experiments have involved lung cells, scientists hope that these technologies will be adapted to treat other organs affected by cystic fibrosis.
