London Asthma Diagnostics Study
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is for adults referred by their GP who may have asthma or were given an asthma diagnosis without proper testing. It aims to improve how asthma is diagnosed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies new technologies to help doctors diagnose asthma and better understand airway inflammation. It may help you (or healthy volunteers, if eligible) by allowing your breathing tests and inflammation markers to be measured with newer diagnostic tools.
This study looks at different ways to test for asthma. It uses data from patients who have already been evaluated at the Portsmouth asthma service, to see which tests work best for diagnosing asthma.
This study compares simple breathing tests (oscillometry and FeNO) used by your primary care doctor against a specialist's diagnosis to see if they can accurately tell if you have asthma or COPD. If you have symptoms like wheezing, cough, or shortness of breath but haven't been diagnosed yet, this trial may help improve how these conditions are found.
This study tests a new way of measuring lung function (called impulse oscillometry) during routine asthma check-ups. It looks at whether this helps doctors decide when to change asthma medicines.
This trial uses special imaging to look at how air moves through your lungs. It may help doctors understand asthma better and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at airway samples from people with asthma and healthy volunteers. It helps researchers understand what causes airway problems and could lead to better treatments.
