Nurse coaching boosts inhaler skills in asthma patients
NCT ID NCT07442617
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether one-on-one training from a nurse could help people with asthma or COPD use their inhalers correctly. One hundred adults who already used inhalers took part. The goal was to see if the training improved their technique, knowledge, and how well they stuck to their medication routine.
