Conditions studied: Asthma (Diagnosis)

In brief

This study compares two commonly used inhalation devices in asthma management. It focuses on evaluating how effectively PMDIs and DPIs deliver the same combination of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonists in patients whose asthma remains poorly controlled despite treatment. The study is conducted in a tertiary care hospital setting, emphasizing real-world clinical practice and aiming to determine whether device choice influences asthma control outcomes.
