Childhood onset asthma

This study tests whether a dedicated asthma navigator—a respiratory therapist who provides education, scheduling help, and phone support—can reduce repeat hospital visits for children aged 5–16 admitted to the PICU for asthma. The goal is to improve health equity by addressing ba…

This study tests a program called TEAM-UP for Teens that uses school-based telemedicine visits and video check-ins to help teenagers with hard-to-control asthma. The goal is to reduce asthma symptoms and emergency visits. About 333 teens aged 12-17 from low-income urban areas wil…

This study tests a smartphone app designed to make asthma easier to manage for 370 teenagers and young adults. The app is a digital version of an asthma action plan, helping users track symptoms and follow treatment guidelines. The goal is to see if using the app improves asthma …

This pilot study is testing a wearable device called AeviceMD that lets children with asthma and their caregivers monitor breathing at home. The device sends information to doctors, who can adjust treatment without an office visit. The goal is to see if this helps kids gain bette…

Asthma affects 1 in 11 children in the UK, and many don't use their inhalers correctly, leading to poor symptom control. This study tests a Smart Spacer device that monitors when and how well children use their inhalers. Researchers will give some children tailored education base…

This study looks at whether a type of antibiotic (macrolide) can help children during asthma attacks, even when there is no clear bacterial infection. Researchers want to see if it shortens the attack and reduces the need for steroids. The study includes 70 children from a larger…

This pilot study tests a community-academic partnership to help children with asthma in New Haven. It offers home visits from trained community health workers (Promotoras) and an online tool for doctors to guide asthma care. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and can…

This study tests whether a symptom-driven inhaler (budesonide/formoterol) works better for teens with asthma who often forget their daily maintenance inhalers. Researchers will compare adherence and asthma flare-ups between the standard daily inhaler plus rescue inhaler group and…

This study looks at whether teaching children with asthma special breathing exercises can improve their quality of life and help them be more active. About 40 kids aged 10-17 with asthma and poor breathing patterns will either get breathing training plus activity advice, or just …

This long-term study recruited over 12,000 non-pregnant women in Southampton, UK, and followed about 3,000 of them through pregnancy and their children's growth up to age 19. Researchers are tracking body composition, nutrition, asthma, and heart health to understand how a mother…

This study aimed to compare standard oxygen therapy with two different flow rates of high-flow nasal cannula in children aged 2-17 with moderate to severe asthma. The goal was to see if it was possible to enroll enough patients and measure breathing improvements. However, the stu…

This study follows 499 children from birth to age 6-7 to understand how early-life factors like allergens, pollution, and microbes may lead to asthma and allergies. Parents with asthma or hay fever are included. No treatments or changes are made—just observation to uncover root c…

This study monitors indoor air quality in 500 French schoolchildren's classrooms, measuring pollutants like chemicals, allergens, and microbes. Researchers will track asthma and allergy symptoms using questionnaires and lung function tests. The goal is to understand how combinati…

This study aims to see if a simple, non-invasive breathing test can accurately measure the acidity (pH) in the airways, which is often abnormal in lung diseases. Researchers will compare results from this breath test with standard methods in 150 healthy volunteers and people with…

This study follows 192 toddlers aged 18 to 36 months who are at high risk for asthma due to wheezing episodes. Researchers track their health over time to understand how asthma develops in early childhood. The goal is to find better ways to prevent and treat asthma in the future.
