Grip strength may predict which asthma inhaler works best for you
NCT ID NCT07232264
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 newly diagnosed asthma patients to see if their muscle strength affects how well they respond to two types of inhalers: a metered dose inhaler (MDI) and a dry powder inhaler (DPI). All patients had at least a high school education and used the inhalers perfectly. Researchers measured lung function, muscle strength, and asthma control before and after one month of treatment. The goal is to help doctors pick the right inhaler for each person based on their physical abilities.
