Sponsor

Ain Shams University

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Aug 21, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Bronchial Asthma

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the frequency needed for stepping-up treatment in patients with mild and moderate bronchial asthma. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * What is the frequency and duration in which patients of asthma need to step up their treatment? * Can the criteria described in this study be applied and validated to test need for step up of asthma treatment? Participants will follow the treatment they are already receiving according to established guidelines and will be asked for regular visits for examination and spirometry. They will record symptoms score, each time they use the prescribed rescu inhaler, and morning and evening peak expiratory flow.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at whether "stepping up" asthma treatment (adding or increasing medication) is a good marker to use when measuring how well asthma is being controlled. It aims to improve how doctors decide when to adjust asthma medications. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 12 years or older - You have a confirmed diagnosis of mild or moderate asthma - You are able to use an inhaler correctly and keep a digital diary - You can provide written consent (or a parent/guardian can) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have severe or very poorly controlled asthma requiring maximum treatment - You cannot use the study inhalers or digital tools - You are unable to follow the study schedule Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
