Could chewing gum skew your asthma diagnosis?

NCT ID NCT07053956

Summary

This study investigated whether chewing gum before a common asthma test could change the results. Researchers tested 30 adults with asthma to see if chewing sugar-free gum for 15 minutes lowered their FeNO level, a measure of airway inflammation. The goal was to understand if this everyday habit could lead to incorrect test readings, potentially affecting diagnosis or treatment decisions.
