Filter by:The aim of this pilot randomised controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of a short-term financial incentives intervention at bringing about behaviour change, namely short-medium term improvements in inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) adherence and asthma control in children and young people (CYP) with asthma.
Chronic diseases are frequent and potentially severe. Type II diabetes, asthma and heart failure affect 3.3 million, 4 million and 1 million people respectively in France. They are sources of avoidable mortality as well as disabilities leading to a loss of years of full health life (DALYS). Cumulatively, they were responsible for the loss of more than 1 million DALYS in 2019 in France. National and international recommendations also include TVE in the management of these three diseases. This severity can be reduced by better management underpinned by therapeutic education. By improving their knowledge of the disease, it allows a better adherence of patients to the care project, the achievement of clinical and biological objectives, a decrease in the number of emergency room visits and unscheduled hospitalizations, and an improvement in the quality of life during the course of three frequent chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, asthma and heart failure. However, participation in a therapeutic education program remains highly variable depending on many parameters. Lack of information seems to play a major role in this context. In the Ile de France region, the density of available TEP programs is high, particularly in Paris. The three chronic diseases that are managed by an advanced practice nurse with a PCS mention have the largest number of TVE programs in Paris: type 2 diabetes (32, and 6 for diabetic foot), asthma and heart failure. In an urban area with a good supply of TVE facilities, how can investigators explain the lack of integration of these facilities into the care pathway? Among the diverse patient population consulting an emergency department suffering from type II diabetes, asthma or heart failure, investigators wish to determine the proportion of patients who have not been offered TVE during their care. Investigators will then try to identify demographic, socioeconomic, and medical factors statistically associated with the absence of FTE proposal.
The purpose of this study was to establish the effect on pulse rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, pain and anxiety levels of Fowler's and the forward-leaning positions during nebulization in children experiencing asthma attacks.
This is a pilot study in which the objective is to determine the feasibility of a randomized clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of OMT as an adjunctive treatment for patients with mild to moderate asthma compared to the same patient population without the use of OMT. OMT may be able to correct anatomical dysfunctions that contribute to increased symptoms in asthmatic patients. OMT's effect on asthma will be demonstrated by symptomatology reporting, frequency of medication use, and pulmonary function tests.
As inflammation and oxidative stress increase in asthma patients, the severity of symptoms and clinical findings increase. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the possible effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inflammation markers and oxidative stress in childhood asthma. The study included asthma patient; 35 routine medication, 35 drug therapy and inspiratory muscle training (IMT), and 35 healthy total 105 children aged 8-17 years. Demographic information and hemogram values were recorded. Functional capacity was evaluated with the 6-minute walking test, quality of life PedsQL, respiratory muscle strength oral pressure measuring device, respiratory function test, dyspnea severity with Modified Borg Scale. C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Periostin, Transforming Growth Factor-βeta (TGF-β), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), Total Oxidant Status (TOS), Oxidative Stress Index (OSI) were analyzed. IMT was given with a Threshold IMT device for 7 days/6 weeks at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure, and then a second evaluation was made.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of AVTX-002 compared with placebo in patients with poorly controlled non-eosinophilic asthma (NEA).
Benralizumab is a humanised, afucosylated, monoclonal antibody against the interleukin (IL)-5 receptor (IL-5R) α subunit that induces direct, rapid, and near-complete depletion of eosinophils in blood, airway tissue, and bone marrow through enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). This apoptotic process involves natural killer cells responsible for the controlled eosinophilic elimination. In the two pivotal phase III trials SIROCCO and CALIMA, benralizumab was well tolerated, significantly reduced asthma exacerbations by up to 51%, and improved lung function as well as disease control in patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma and blood eosinophil count of ≥ 300 cells/μL blood, receiving both ICS and LABA. According to the summary of product's characteristics (SmPC) of benralizumab in Russia, it can be used for an add-on maintenance treatment for adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. All patients enrolled in the BEST study will comply with the SmPC approved by the Russian Ministry of Health.
The goal of this study is to identify reliable, valid, easily measurable, interpretable, and useful biomarkers in peripheral blood and exhaled air by people with severe asthma for a more accurate description of the pathogenetic processes of asthma-related to the inflammatory endotype and the choice of biologic therapy.
This study examines the implications of providing hospital-level care in rural homes.
The onset of smartphone usage has provided new opportunities for managing patients outside the walls of healthcare facilities. The development of asthma-specific smartphone applications represents an excellent area for partnership between developers and medical teams for delivering therapeutic education at the required time and in a personalised way. Within this context, the overall goal of the AsthmaTrain study is to perform a first, small pilot study comparing a new French-language chat-bot guided asthma patient education programme (the 'Vik' application) with the classic, authority-approved patient education program at the University Hospitals of Montpellier, Montpellier, France. The primary objective is to compare a population of adult patients with asthma and participating in a standard patient education programme with a similar population participating in Vik-guided education programme in terms of change in overall scores on the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ).
