Pragmatic Clinical Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of Pharmaceutical Intervention in Patients With Uncontrolled Asthma

Asthma control

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmaceutical intervention in
 controlling asthma in patients diagnosed with uncontrolled asthma. This is a pragmatic
 clinical trial composed of two groups - intervention (pharmaceutical monitoring) and control
 (without pharmaceutical monitoring). The study population will consist of patients with
 uncontrolled asthma, seen at the asthma outpatient clinic of the Hospital de Clínicas de
 Porto Alegre. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be randomized to the
 control group (managed by the specialized outpatient medical team) and the intervention group
 (in addition to management by the specialized medical team, they will be referred for
 pharmaceutical monitoring at the Clinical Research Center of the Hospital de Clínicas de
 Porto Alegre). The primary outcome of the study will be the proportion of patients with
 uncontrolled asthma who achieve an ACT 20 after a systematic educational intervention,
 guided by a pharmaceutical professional, compared to a group that does not receive this type
 of intervention.
