NCT ID NCT07196436
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether installing energy recovery ventilators or portable air cleaners in low-income homes can reduce indoor pollutants and mold, and improve asthma control. Researchers will monitor 80 households over one year, measuring lung function, asthma symptoms, and quality of life. The goal is to find a practical, non-medication way to help people with asthma breathe better at home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Energy recovery ventilator and portable air cleaner
- What this could lead to
- If effective, these devices could offer a practical, non-drug way to improve asthma control and quality of life for people living in homes with poor air quality.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small study (80 households) testing devices, not a new drug. Results may not apply to all homes or climates, and the benefit may be modest.
