Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people who are referred for a breathing test called the Methacholine Challenge Test. Participants will undergo a test that measures how well their airways respond to breathing challenges.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I am willing to perform a breathing test.
  • I can speak and understand English.
  • I have been referred for a Methacholine Challenge Test.

You may not be able to join if

  • I am unable to provide consent.
  • I cannot perform the oscillometry test.

Summarized in plain language from this trial's official eligibility criteria. The full criteria are further down this page — only the research team can confirm whether you qualify.
