Emergency spacers vs. traditional spacers for asthma
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an emergency-use spacer works as well as a traditional spacer for delivering asthma medication through an inhaler. It may help people with mild to moderate asthma breathe better during an attack.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 6 and 80 years old.
- Your asthma should be mild or moderate (not severe).

This trial tests whether using a spacer with your inhaler can lower the risk of serious flare-ups for people over 65 who have COPD or asthma and are already on triple therapy.
This study tests a digital device that attaches to an asthma inhaler to help children use it correctly. It may improve symptom control by providing feedback on inhaler technique.
This trial tests whether a new combination inhaler works as well as a commonly used one for teenagers with asthma that is not well controlled. It aims to find a safe and effective treatment option for adolescents.
This study compares two versions of the common asthma rescue inhaler (salbutamol/albuterol) that use different propellants (the gas that pushes the medicine out). The goal is to see if the new propellant works as well as the current one. If you have mild asthma and are on a stable treatment plan, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a new inhaler (CHF5993) works as well as the current standard for adults with mild to moderate asthma. It compares how well the medicine controls asthma and opens airways.
This study aims to improve how we diagnose and treat asthma in children. It tests whether a personalized approach can help children whose asthma is not well controlled with current inhaler treatments.
