How Aerobid Affects Patients

Flunisolide is a man-made hormone that helps to reduce inflammation and suppress immune responses. It is available as an oral inhaler for asthma or as nasal spray for allergies, and can help reduce common allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, and throat itching.

How Aerobid works in the body

Flunisolide is a medication that helps reduce inflammation. It does this by blocking the production of certain molecules that cause inflammation. It also suppresses the immune system, reducing the amount of antibodies and immune cells in the body. Flunisolide works by attaching to a protein in the body called transcortin, which then activates the medication.

Aerobid for Asthma

I was using Intal and Aerobid, but my doctor switched me to Advair in 2003. I finally convinced them to switch me back last September, and I haven't had pneumonia since. The taste can be bad, but using a chamber with the Aerobid helps mitigate that

Aerobid for Asthma

The taste of this medication is beyond words, and unfortunately it has not done much to help with my coughing at night. I will continue using it as prescribed, but it's honestly a struggle because of how terrible it tastes.

Air Cleaners for Asthma and COPD

Any Age
All Sexes
Berkeley, CA

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a type of air pollution made up of extremely tiny particles that can harm our health. Because PM2.5 particles are so small, they can travel deep into the lungs when inhaled. Exposure to PM2.5 can worsen asthma, cause breathing problems, increase the risk of heart attacks, and lead to early death, especially for people with existing heart or lung conditions. In California's Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP), a San Francisco community already facing high levels of air pollution and health impacts, sources of PM2.5 include industrial activity, commuter traffic, heavy-duty diesel trucks, freight trains, and port and maritime activities. The Reducing Exposure with Air Cleaners and Technology (REACT) Study is a partnership between University of California (UC) Berkeley, UC San Francisco, and Brightline Defense. The goal is to see if air cleaners (also called air purifiers) can help reduce indoor PM2.5 levels and improve respiratory health. For this study, the investigators will be recruiting 100 households in BVHP to participate. In each home, indoor PM2.5 levels and the health status of household members who are 13 years old or older and have asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will be monitored. Each home will be part of the study for 90 to 120 days, depending on scheduling. Households must reside in BVHP for the duration of the study and not have used an air cleaner in their home within the last 6 months. On Day 1, each household will receive a PurpleAir indoor air quality monitor to measure PM2.5 levels in their home. * For the first 30 days, the investigators will measure the home's normal air quality (baseline). * After 30 days, each household will receive an air cleaner with information about how to best use it. * At that point, a PM2.5 indicator light will be turned on for half of the PurpleAir monitors. For the other half, indicator light will be kept turned off. This helps the investigators study whether seeing the air quality in real time changes how people use the air cleaner. * For the next 30 days, indoor PM2.5 levels will continue to be monitored. How often the air cleaner is used will also be tracked with smart plug data loggers. * After 60 days, more training and support will be offered to all participants and monitoring will continue over the final 30 days of the study.

Temperature & Humidity Exposure for Asthma

11 - 18
All Sexes
Oshawa, Canada

The goal of this clinical study is to learn how different temperature and humidity conditions affect breathing, lung function, exercise capacity, symptoms, and other physical responses in children and youth aged 11 to 18 years with asthma, compared with age- and sex-matched children and youth without asthma. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How do different temperature and humidity conditions affect lung function, breathing symptoms, exercise capacity, and physiological responses in children and youth with asthma? * Do children and youth with asthma respond differently to these environmental conditions than children and youth without asthma? * Do sex and gender influence these responses? Researchers will compare children and youth with asthma to age- and sex-matched children and youth without asthma to see if temperature and humidity exposures have different effects on breathing, exercise performance, symptoms, and physiological responses. Participants will: * Attend two study visits in a climate-controlled chamber. * Be exposed to hot, cold, and varying humidity conditions for short periods of time. * Complete breathing tests and exercise testing before, during, and after each exposure. * Have symptoms, physical activity, and physiological responses monitored throughout the study.

Wearable Stethoscope for Childhood Asthma

4 - 17
All Sexes
Los Angeles, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a prototype wearable stethoscope designed to record lung sounds and assess asthma control in children and adolescents with asthma aged 4 to 17 years who are able to perform spirometry. The study aims to determine whether the prototype wearable stethoscope can accurately detect clinically meaningful changes in lung sounds associated with asthma control and response to bronchodilator treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the prototype wearable stethoscope demonstrate agreement with recordings obtained from commercially available Thinklabs One Digital Stethoscopes in identifying normal and abnormal lung sounds? * Are lung sounds detected by the prototype wearable stethoscope associated with asthma symptom control as measured by the Childhood Asthma Control Test (cACT) or Asthma Control Test (ACT) Researchers will compare recordings obtained from the prototype wearable stethoscope with recordings obtained from FDA-cleared Thinklabs One Digital Stethoscopes to evaluate the prototype device's ability to detect abnormal lung sounds and changes in lung sounds following bronchodilator treatment.

Mouthwash for Asthma

18+
All Sexes
Madison, WI

This study aims to determine whether an extra virgin olive oil-based water (EVOOW) mixture removes more fluticasone propionate (FP) from the mouth than water alone. More effective removal of residual FP deposits may help reduce the risk of complications associated with inhaled corticosteroid use, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), oral candidiasis (thrush), and speech and swallowing dysfunction. Participants will attend two separate testing visits, during which they will rinse and gargle with either EVOOW or water, after receiving 1 puff if fluticasone propionate. The visits will be scheduled 7-10 days apart. Total participation will last up to 3 weeks.
