      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: Before entering the study, how to conduct a clinical trial for children / adolescents and their parents will be fully explained and the consent form will be provided to patients both children / adolescents and parents or legal guardians. Individuals in the above method will be randomly divided into two groups of case and control, both groups will receive standard treatment and the intervention group in addition to standard treatment, N acetylcysteine (NAC) ​​oral tablet and the control group will also receive placebo. In order to ensure the correct use of the drug, in addition to the initial training, the pill count method will be used during the follow-up of patients, and if patients have more than 40% difference with the expected number of remaining pills, they will be excluded.from the study. Two hundred mg NAC tablets produced by the pharmaceutical company Mucosulin and placebo with a brand similar in appearance to the main drug are produced by the Isfahan School of Pharmacy and given to the control group. Before receiving the drug, patients in both groups, Spirometry is tested and the indicators mentioned in the targets are recorded. Also, at the beginning of the study, patients' demographic information and details related to the severity of cystic fibrosis (CF) symptoms are recorded in a data collection form. In both case and control groups, receive standard treatment (including saline nebulizers, digestive enzymes, etc.) and to evaluate the effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine ​​in patients with CF in the case group, 600 mg of this drug daily (every eight hours 200 mg tablets) for one to three months. The control group also takes placebo tablets. Then spirometry test is performed on the patients again and the results are compared before and after the intervention in the considered indicators. Spirometry testing is based on the ATS guideline. Before the start of the study, the quality of life of these patients was assessed using the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQR) and compared between the case and control groups, based on before and after the intervention. Accuracy and reliability of case tests The opinion has been proven in several studies, and during the monitoring of patients during treatment, the possibility of side effects will be reported as observed.۴۵, Randomization description: In this study, randomization using the date of birth of patients referred to the outpatient cystic fibrosis treatment clinic of Imam Hossein Pediatric Hospital on Thursdays (Simple Random Sampling) is performed. In this method, using patients' birthdays, all eligible admitted individuals will be divided into two groups of 15 people, case and control. (Birthday of the individual in the case group and birthday of the couple in the control group.) Then the numbers, respectively. Depending on the number or even number of each patient, a treatment regimen with or without NAC is considered, Blinding description: In this study, the pulmonologist and patients are not aware of the type of drug prescribed (main drug or placebo). Drugs with only a small code that only the researcher and data collector (student) is aware of that code.</study_design>
