No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Up to 50% of infants and young children cry during the administration of their inhaled treatment for their asthma. This results in decreased lung deposition, and thus decreased effectiveness of their inhaled treatment.

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether animated cartoons can increase the cooperation of young children with asthma who are not cooperative during the delivery of their ICS therapy through a pMDI/spacer.
