Studies have shown that noninvasive ventilation (NIV) can improve the symptoms associated with respiratory failure for patients with neuromuscular disease and lead to:

• Improved swallowing
• An easier time breathing
• Less feelings of fatigue and sleepiness
• Fewer morning headaches
• Better concentration
• Improvement in mood

NIV can help improve your quality of life, so that you can still get out and about with your ventilator and enjoy life as much as possible.
