Utilising Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) in Asthma

We use this simple test in many of our current and completed asthma research studies and have several of the machines within our unit for use in both our research and patients clinical care within the Severe Asthma Service. Our current asthma clinical research includes our "Low NO" study, is looking at using FeNO to see if it can give a better indication as to whether a steroid inhaler will work for patients with suspected asthma. The utilisation of FeNO was also in the new

Low Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Asthma (FeNO)

New Asthma Research Study: LOW NO A clinical asthma research study, led by Prof Tim Harrison, to investigate if we can use a simple breath test to ‘rule out’ asthma in people suspected of having asthma by their GP, so that people are not prescribed an inhaled steroid that they will not benefit from.

Refractory Asthma Stratification Programme (RASP-UK)

New Asthma Research Study: RASP-UK The RASP-UK Consortium is a large scale research project that aims to target treatments effectively in patients with severe asthma. Difficult to treat asthma affects up to 20% of patients with asthma in the UK despite currently available therapies and is associated with significant healthcare cost. Treatment guidelines advise the ‘step wise’ increase of corticosteroids but the response is often poor as this “one size fits all” approach does

CLEARCUT Asthma Study

Completed Research Study - In Follow-Up This is a clinical asthma research study for people who are struggling to control their asthma. It will help us learn whether we can deliver budesonide (an approved asthma medication) into the lungs more effectively. This will be done by using a new type of nebuliser technology in combination with a patients’ breathing patterns You can also find more information directly from the CLEARCUT website #asthmastudy #asthma
