Active clinical trials for "Asthma"

The purpose for the trial is intended to evaluate safety and effectiveness of an oxyhydrogen generator with nebulizer in an adjuvant therapy for patients with severe asthma.

assess the efficacy and safety of Salmeterol Xinafoate and Fluticasone Propinate Powder for inhalation (50ug/250ug) in combination with seretide to patients with Asthma. a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive-controlled, parallel-group trail.

This study aims to find out if AES ( Activation Energy Serum) , a blend of natural minerals , is effective and safe for the treatment of asthma if taken for 4 weeks . The efficacy will be scientifically tested by symptoms scores, questionnaires, breathing and blood tests.

Occupational asthma (OA) caused by high molecular weight (HMW) substances have been shown to induce predominantly an eosinophilic inflammation. In contrast, OA caused by low molecular weight (LMW) substances results in a neutrophilic inflammation. In addition, data regarding phenotype of lymphocytes in OA caused by HMW and LMW substances are scarce. The use of a new equipment will allow the realization of specific standardized bronchial challenges (BC) to occupational agents. Thus, we propose to study in more detail the cellular mechanisms involved during BC to HMW and LMW occupational agents in a double-blind placebo controlled study.

The Early Head Start program serves lower socioeconomic inner-city children from birth to 3 years. This population has a higher incidence of asthma due to increased exposures. The primary objective of this study is: To evaluate the effect of early identification of these high risk, inner-city asthmatic infants, age 1-3 years, and early treatment with pulmicort respules on asthma morbidity (asthma symptoms and use of rescue medications), infant pulmonary functions, and use of health care resources (unscheduled clinic visits, emergency room visits and hospitalizations). To obtain pilot behavior information using Carey Temperament Scale, Bitsea and expand to Itsea if indicated.

The purpose of this study is to determine if exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels will be increased in pediatric patients with uncontrolled asthma as determined by the Asthma Control Test (ACT). During the study the investigators will also examine if the combination of eNO and ACT will better predict asthma control that either tool alone when compared to a medical provider's assessment of the patient's asthma control.

This Pilot study is designed to explore the rate of local side effects of fluticasone as delivered by Advair and to determine the best outcome measure to assess these effects. This study is the initial step, and will be followed by a larger scale study.

The aim of the study is to assess the effect of specific immunotherapy (SIT) to dust mites on clinical symptoms, reliever drugs usage, inhaled glucocorticosteroid usage, quality of life, lung function, bronchial hyperreactivity with methacholine, and presence and type of allergy after three years of SIT in children with asthma.

The primary objective of this study is to isolate macrophages by using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for different in vitro experiments. Therefore, following a baseline BAL, allergen, endotoxin, and saline will be instilled into three different lung segments during the first bronchoscopy. After 24 hours during a second bronchoscopy, BAL fluid will be collected in these challenged segments to harvest invaded cells for in vitro experimentation. In addition, segmental bronchial biopsies will be taken to assess the degree of local inflammation.

This is a randomized study to compare asthma patients using Foster or Relvar.
