A new breathing test for asthma monitoring
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older with asthma.
- You have a scheduled hospital visit for your asthma.
- Your doctor plans to change your asthma medication at that visit (either increase or decrease).
- You have not had a severe asthma flare-up in the last 4 weeks that needed steroid pills or antibiotics.

This trial is testing whether a simple breath test called FeNO can help doctors diagnose asthma more accurately. It's for people who have symptoms that might be asthma, but haven't been diagnosed yet.
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.
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 trial tests a handheld device that measures nitric oxide in your breath to see if it can help monitor asthma. You may qualify if you have uncontrolled asthma and can use the device at home.
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 is testing a new way to diagnose asthma in children and teens using simple breathing tests. If your regular breathing test wasn't clear, this might give a more accurate answer.
