Using inflammation tests to diagnose asthma in kids and adults
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a simple inflammation test (inflammometry) to help diagnose asthma more accurately in people aged 6 and older who have been sent by their primary care doctor for standard breathing tests. It aims to improve the diagnosis process and reduce delays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 6 years of age or older
- Your primary care doctor has referred you for a breathing test (spirometry or methacholine challenge) to check for asthma
- You were not referred by a lung specialist (pulmonologist)

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 looks at how certain markers of inflammation (called T2) affect asthma. By joining, you'll help doctors understand the burden of this type of inflammation, which could lead to better treatments for people like you.
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 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 uses a special blood test (metabolomics) to better understand asthma in children and help guide treatment. It may help find out more about your child's asthma and how to manage it.
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.
