Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Diagnosis of neuromuscular disease with a greater than or equal to 10% drop in vital capacity from standing to lying, or a sniff nasal inspiratory pressure under the lower limit (above which lie 95% of healthy subjects), based on work by Uldry and Fitting (Thorax 1995;50(4)).

OR

Kyphoscoliosis with an FVC <65% predicted.
Minimum age
14 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Baseline transcutaneous carbon dioxide of greater than or equal to 60mmHg Diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease FEV1:FVC ratio less than or equal to 70% (if participant able to perform forced spirometry) Obesity (with a body mass index of greater than or equal to 40) Any other condition which, at the investigator's discretion, is believed may present a safety risk or impact the feasibility of the study or the study results.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Following explaination of the trial and consent, participants will be assessed for eligibility. If eligible, participants will be randomised to the order of interventions (21% oxygen and 50% oxygen). This order will be available to an investigator who is not administering treatment, assessing outcomes or analysing data. Their role is to make available the gas bottles and bags (containing either 21% or 50% oxygen) in the randomised order. The labels on the bottles will be covered to maintain the blinding of other investigators and the participant.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
By computer.

Summary
Brief summary
Oxygen therapy has been shown to increase carbon dioxide in the blood of patients with certain respiratory conditions. This study aims to find out if oxygen therapy increases carbon dioxide levels in patients with neuromuscular disease and, if so, how.
