Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways that makes breathing difficult. With this condition, there is inflammation of the air passages that result in a temporary narrowing of the airways that carry oxygen to the lungs.
Managing it isn’t always easy. Some treatments cause unwanted side effects, while other treatments don’t always work. Asthma clinical trials, like those at CNS Healthcare, can help you explore new options. Interested in trying a new treatment at no cost?

For some people, this condition is a minor nuisance. For others, it can be a major problem that interferes with daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack.
An asthma attack is a sudden worsening of symptoms caused by the tightening of muscles around the airways (bronchospasm). During the asthma attack, the lining of the airways also becomes swollen or inflamed and thicker mucus — more than normal — is produced. All of these factors — bronchospasm, inflammation, and mucus production — cause symptoms of an asthma attack.
Treatment can vary from inhalers to oral medications to drugs delivered in a nebulizer or breathing machine. Medications can save your life and let you live an active life despite your condition.
