Asthma
Clinical Research and the Fight Against Asthma
More than 300 million people suffer with asthma worldwide. This life-long condition impairs breathing, limits daily activity and disturbs sleep. The wheezing and shortness of breath that commonly afflict asthma sufferers can be triggered by environmental factors, exercise, and even stress. Research has dramatically improved asthma treatment with an array of medicines that relieve acute attacks and control symptoms long-term.
