Asthma is one of the most common conditions - there are 8 million of us in the UK who suffer from it.  t can range from the needing a quick puff on your inhaler if you exercise and there’s a lot of pollen about it, to serious, fatal attacks, there’s still a lot we don’t know. That’s what this interview with our respiratory physician Matthew Martin is all about.

One of the things we’re not sure about is to do with how people with inhalers use them - short version, we might doing it all wrong, then again we might not, this is research after all - and that’s what  the second bit of the interview you’re about to hear covers.

One of the fundamentals of clinical research is the ‘blind’ bit of the double-blind placebo controlled trial. If neither the researcher nor the participant know whether they’re getting placebo or the drug, it removes the chances that they’re unconsciously  responding in the way they think they should. 

The placebo effect can account for up to 30% of a difference, so it has to be dealt with.

But if you’re trialling a therapy where the patient will know what’s going on - like exercise for rehab, for example - it can’t be blind. So how do you get round that?

We spoke to clinical research  physiotherapist Paul Matthews about the challenges he faced when he was studying exercise as part of rehab for broken ankles.
