NCT ID NCT07679321
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether anxiety or depression makes asthma harder to control and aims to build a model that predicts when a serious asthma attack might happen. Researchers will follow 256 people with asthma for up to two years, tracking their symptoms, mental health, and lung function. No new treatments are tested—the goal is to better understand the link between mental health and asthma outcomes.
