- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) score Baseline and week 12 Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) that is 6 items of self-administered and 1 item of FEV1%. It has 7-point scale (=no impairment, 6= maximum impairment for symptoms and rescue use; and 7 categories for FEV1%). Scores range between 0 (totally controlled) and 6 (severely uncontrolled).
Change from baseline in Asthma Controlled Test (ACT) score Baseline, week 4, week 8 and week 12 1. Asthma Controlled Test (ACT); grouped in five domains; frequency of shortness of breath, general asthma symptoms, use of rescue medications, the effect of asthma on daily functioning, and overall self-assessment of asthma control. 5-point scale (for symptoms and activities: 1=all the time to 5= not at all; for asthma control rating: 1=not controlled at all to 5=completely controlled). The scores range from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 (complete control of asthma), with higher scores reflecting greater asthma control. An ACT score \>19 indicates well-controlled asthma
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in Peak expiratory flow (PEF) Baseline, week 4, week 8 and week 12 The mean value of PEF (Litre per minute) for baseline, week 4, 8 and 12 was analysed.
Change from baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Baseline and week 12 The mean value for baseline and week 12 was analysed.
Percentage of participants who were categorized from asthma controlled assessment following GINA guideline Baseline, week 4, week 8 and week 12
