Summary

This study tested whether the color of an asthma inhaler (pink vs white) affects how people perceive their asthma symptoms. 78 adults with moderate to severe asthma used both colored inhalers and reported their symptoms daily. The goal was to see if the device color alone could change symptom awareness or treatment satisfaction.
