New treatment option for Asthma in Children
Official title Using a Smart Inhaler to Support Asthma Management in Adolescents With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06783101
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Correct use of daily medications containing inhaled corticosteroids is key for asthma control, yet children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) face additional barriers to proper inhaler use. Smart inhalers, a novel technology that provides guidance and immediate feedback on inhaler use techniques, have been shown to enhance correct medication administration in the typically developing pediatric population, but their effectiveness has not been evaluated on the pediatric IDD population.
- Time commitment: about 8 weeks
