What Is Asthma?
Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways in the lungs, making it harder to breathe. It can cause wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing—symptoms that may vary over time or worsen due to triggers such as allergens, exercise, or respiratory infections. According to the World Health Organization, it affects more than 250 million people worldwide.
While asthma cannot be cured, it can be managed. Ongoing research continues to explore how asthma develops, what contributes to its severity, and how it impacts different populations.
How You Can Help Advance Asthma Research
Asthma symptoms and severity can vary widely from person to person. Clinical research helps healthcare professionals better understand these variations—from common triggers to different asthma types, including allergic, eosinophilic, exercise-induced, or severe asthma.
At Equity Medical, our team conducts asthma clinical trials at our research centers in Bowling Green, KY, Manhattan, NY, and the Bronx, NY. These trials help us understand how asthma affects different individuals and explore new ways of understanding and managing the condition. Our clinical team includes board-certified allergists and experienced staff who guide our patients through each step of the process.

Submitting your interest does not enroll you in a trial. A member of our team will contact you if you may qualify for any current or future asthma-related opportunities.
