NCT ID NCT02618551
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a procedure called bronchial thermoplasty for people with severe asthma that is not controlled by standard treatments. The treatment uses heat to thin the airway muscles, aiming to reduce breathlessness during exercise. 14 participants were enrolled, and the main goal was to see if the treatment improved lung function during physical activity.
