A Promising Breakthrough in Lung Testing for LAM Patients: Introducing Oscillometry At The LAM Foundation, we believe that hope grows through research—and we’re excited to share a promising new development that could transform how lung health is monitored in individuals with LAM. For years, pulmonary function tests (PFTs) such as spirometry and plethysmography (the “body box”) have been the standard tools for assessing lung function. While valuable, these tests can be challenging for patients, requiring forceful breathing or specialized equipment only available in large centers. They may also miss early signs of lung decline. Now, thanks to Foundation-funded research, scientists are exploring a simpler, more sensitive, and patient-friendly option: oscillometry—a test that measures lung function while patients breathe normally. This breakthrough offers new hope for earlier detection, better monitoring, and more comfortable care for people living with LAM.
