Observational Study of Treatment Step-up in Mild to Moderate Bronchial Asthma SURFE

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are observing patients with mild to moderate bronchial asthma to understand how often and for how long they need to increase their treatment. The study aims to validate criteria that identify when patients should step up their asthma treatment. Participants continue their current asthma treatment based on established guidelines while the researchers track their symptoms and lung function over time. Participants will maintain their usual asthma treatment and will attend regular study visits for examinations and lung function tests, including spirometry. They will also keep records of their symptom scores, use of rescue inhalers, and morning and evening peak expiratory flow. This data will help assess treatment adjustments in real life. Throughout the 52-week study period, participants will be monitored for how frequently they step up or step down their asthma treatment, the rate of severe asthma attacks, and the number of weeks they maintain asthma control. Researchers will gather this information through regular visits and symptom tracking to better understand asthma management. The study is sponsored by Ain Shams University and includes participants aged 12 to 80 years.
