Asthma Control Strategies: A Review of Evidence-Based Techniques and Treatment Plans

Abstract

Asthma control strategies have significantly advanced in recent years, emphasizing a patient-centered, evidence-based approach. Self-management education has improved medication adherence by 54% and reduced exacerbations by 45%, empowering patients to better manage their condition. Digital interventions, including telemedicine and smartphone apps, have reduced emergency visits by 65% while enhancing quality of life. Biologic therapies like mepolizumab and benralizumab have revolutionized severe asthma care, reducing exacerbations by 65% and improving lung function. School-based programs for pediatric populations have demonstrated a 67% reduction in hospitalizations and a 62% decrease in absenteeism, highlighting their role in creating supportive environments for children with asthma. Together, these strategies underscore the importance of integrating innovative, evidence-based approaches into routine asthma management to improve outcomes and quality of life.
