Cockroach bait vs. full home makeover: which tames Kids' asthma?
NCT ID NCT04331353
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests two ways to reduce cockroach allergens in homes of children with asthma in New Orleans. One group gets a simple cockroach bait, the other gets a tailored plan including education, mattress covers, and air purifiers. Over 12 months, researchers will track asthma symptoms, hospital visits, and quality of life to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Cockroach bait and allergen reduction strategies (education, mattress covers, HEPA vacuum, air purifier)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple, low-cost cockroach bait is as effective as a more complex tailored approach for reducing asthma symptoms in children.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention trial, not a drug. Results may vary by home environment, and the study is limited to one geographic area, so findings may not apply everywhere.
