NCT ID NCT07609134
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new education program called WASP that teaches adults with asthma how to manage their condition day-to-day. The goal is to see if it helps control symptoms and improves quality of life. Forty adults will take part through their GP or primary care clinic.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Walsh asthma self-management programme (education, self-management training, behaviour change strategies)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple education program that helps adults with asthma better control their symptoms and reduce flare-ups.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not improve asthma control more than usual care.
