Researchers are continuing to investigate how to better treat and manage asthma. You can help contribute to this work by getting involved in research trials. Below are some of the opportunities currently available. Follow the links for more information.
Run by the Medical Research Institute of NZ (MRINZ)
Help researchers find out which inhalers work best for child asthma. Researchers are seeking children aged 5 - 15 years who only use an inhaler to relieve symptoms (for eg. Respigen, Ventolin or Bricanyl inhaler).
