Description
Asthma is a long-term condition that touches the lives of millions across the globe, bringing unique challenges to each person it affects. This respiratory condition inflames and narrows the airways, making even simple breaths feel like a struggle.
People with asthma may experience symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and persistent coughing, especially at night or when they’re active. For some, asthma means constant worry about sudden flare-ups or hospital visits that interrupt daily life.
Over 300 million people, including many children, live with asthma, facing physical and emotional impacts. Fortunately, ongoing research and emerging treatments offer real hope for a future with better asthma management and relief.
Asthma is commonly treated with a combination of inhaled medications, such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and bronchodilators to open the airways. While effective for many, current treatments don’t work equally well for everyone, and some people need more targeted approaches.
What to expect
Momentum conducts clinical trials that explore innovative therapies, including combination inhalers designed to provide more reliable and rapid relief for symptoms. Upcoming studies aim to improve understanding of asthma triggers and to develop inhalers that can be used during attacks with fewer side effects. These advancements could transform asthma management, providing patients with safer and more effective options worldwide.
