Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a daily text reminder ("AdhasText") can help children with asthma use their inhalers regularly, control their symptoms, and improve their lung function. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the daily text reminder improve adherence to inhaled corticosteroids in children with asthma? Does the text reminder help children with asthma control their symptoms better? Does the text reminder improve lung function in children with asthma?

Researchers will compare children who receive the daily text reminder with usual care to children who receive usual care (without the reminder) to see if the text reminder improves adherence, symptom control, and lung function.

Participants will:

Receive a daily text reminder or usual care (no reminder) for 90 days Complete questionnaires about their asthma symptoms at 45 and 90 days Have spirometry tests to measure lung function at the start of the study and 90 days

Study Groups

Daily Text Reminder (AdhasText)

Participants in this group will receive a daily text message reminder ("AdhasText") to encourage them to use their inhalers regularly for 90 days. They will continue with their regular asthma management as prescribed by their healthcare providers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Daily Text Reminder

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention, titled "AdhasText," involved sending a daily SMS reminder to caregivers, specifically mothers of children with asthma. The message, "If you want to stay healthy, you must use your inhaler," was sent at 7:00 p.m. over a 90 days period.

Usual care

Participants in this group will receive the usual care for asthma, which does not include the daily text message reminders. They will continue with their regular asthma management as prescribed by their healthcare providers.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
