Ancient herbal remedy put to the test for asthma relief
NCT ID NCT07352488
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a traditional Chinese medicine powder called Modified Shenling Baizhu Powder to standard asthma inhalers can improve symptom control in people with allergic asthma. Researchers will enroll 400 adults aged 18 to 80 who have persistent asthma and a specific traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis. Participants will take either the herbal powder or a placebo twice daily for 8 weeks, alongside their usual inhaler, and be followed for 12 more weeks to track asthma control, flare-ups, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Modified Shenling Baizhu Powder (traditional Chinese herbal powder)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an additional treatment option to help control allergic asthma symptoms and reduce flare-ups.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with no phase specified, so results are uncertain. The herbal powder may not provide added benefit over standard inhalers, and side effects are not yet well understood.
