NCT ID NCT05440097
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a program that educates doctors on the latest asthma guidelines can improve how they treat patients. About 1500 people with asthma in China took part. The program included training sessions and reminders to help doctors follow best practices. The main goal was to see if more patients would receive the right kind of inhaler treatment after the program.
