There have been significant changes to asthma treatment guidelines in response to new clinical trial data in recent years. The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) Science Committee conducts an asthma-related scientific literature review biannually to evaluate published research on asthma management and prevention and was most recently updated in 2023.
