Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

The PRE-AR project is a longitudinal observational study. The primary objective is the assessment of lung function parameters in late preterm preschool children.

The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes related to the current practice of using a jet nebulizer (JN) with aerosol mask (AM) or mouthpiece (MP) versus a vibrating mesh nebulizer (VMN) with a valved-mask (VM) or MP in the treatment of acute moderate to severe asthma in Children's Medical Center Dallas Emergency Department (CMCED).

This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, six-sequence, three-period cross-over study in asthma patients. The study consisted of a 14-day screening period, followed by a 14-day run-in period, and a treatment epoch which consists of three treatment periods, with a minimum duration of 14 days each followed (for the 2 first treatment periods) by a wash-out period. The duration of each treatment period may be extended up to a duration of 18 days if needed for operational reasons. The third treatment period was followed by a Study Completion evaluation at 1-7 days following the last dose. The treatment periods were separated by wash-out periods of 14 to 21 days duration.

The purpose of the proposed study are to explore changes in sleep and asthma outcomes from baseline to post-treatment in adults with asthma and comorbid insomnia who underwent Internet-based cognitive-behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBT-I).

Asthma is one of the main chronic diseases in childhood and it is characterized by the inflammation of airways. Individuals with chronic lung disease are more susceptible to present reduction in exercise tolerance due to pulmonary limitations. The pulmonary rehabilitation may improve the physical capacity in asthmatic patients, as observed in other chronic lung diseases.

The management of chronic diseases requires a constant monitoring of treatment adherence, in order to obtain an optimal disease control. However, this is often difficult to achieve, especially in pediatric age. In this sense, for asthmatic patients treated by Symbicort Turbohaler, "AstraZeneca" developed the "Turbo+", an electronic device attached to the Turbohaler, which allows to feel whether the patient does the inhalation, and to register it on a specific application. The present randomized trial aims to compare the treatment adherence between asthmatic children/adolescents aged 6-17 years treated with Symbicort Turbohaler plus Turbo+ or Symbicort Turbohaler without Turbo+.

This is a behavioral randomized controlled trial of adults with uncontrolled persistent asthma that tests if the Propeller Health sensor, mobile application, and dashboard can improve adherence to ICS.

This study is a cross-sectional study to evaluate the relationship between coronary calcium score and clinical parameters of asthma such as onset of disease, lung function parameter and airway inflammation parameter (sputum eosinophil or FeNO) in Korean elderly asthma (regardless of whether they have concomittent COPD or not) patients

This study is to compare Smart phone mobile device and/or web based application asthma action plan to the standard of care paper based asthma action plan within an asthma program. The Primary hypothesis: Health Outcome - The Breathe mobile health and web-based application improves asthma related quality of life more than conventional best practice

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Benralizumab reduces the exacerbation rate in patients with a history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving ICS-LABA with or without oral corticosteroids and additional asthma controllers.
