Texting teens to breathe easier: new asthma adherence trial
NCT ID NCT07512622
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether text-message reminders and coaching can help 389 teens (ages 12-18) with moderate to severe asthma take their daily inhaled steroids as prescribed. Participants will be split into three groups: one gets a basic asthma app, another adds personalized text reminders, and a third adds both texts and telehealth problem-solving sessions. The goal is to see which approach improves medication adherence, lung function, and reduces emergency care over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
text-message reminders and telehealth coaching
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple phone-based reminders and coaching help teens stick to their asthma medication, leading to better symptom control and fewer hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a new drug. Results depend on teens actually using the app and responding to texts, which may not work for everyone. The study hasn't started recruiting yet.
