15-Minute test in Doctor's office aims to fight antibiotic overuse for colds
NCT ID NCT06765135
Summary
This study is testing whether a quick nasal swab test in primary care clinics can help doctors better diagnose the cause of cold symptoms. The test gives results in 15 minutes, identifying if a virus or bacteria is present. Researchers hope this will help doctors prescribe antibiotics only when truly needed, reducing unnecessary use. The study involves 8,000 adult patients with cold-like symptoms and surveys their doctors' and patients' experiences.
