Grant Activity:
Unravelling a clinical paradox: why does bronchial thermoplasty work in asthma and how can we improve patient outcomes?
Purpose:
Increased thickness of muscle lining the airway passages is a primary abnormality in patients with asthma. Only one technology has been designed to address this defect; ‘bronchial thermoplasty’ (BT). However, there is controversy on how BT can improve patient health and for this reason there is reluctance for widespread use. Our research program will determine how BT works and which patients are likely to benefit most, improving current clinical practice and informing a new treatment approach.
