Trial summary

Asthma is a common chronic respiratory illness which results in frequent wheezing, cough,reduced quality of life. Standard treatment for asthma attack includes oxygen therapy, β2-agonists (e.g. albuterol) and inhaled anticholinergics and corticosteroids. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Lung Function Changes of Mild to Moderate Asthmatic Children Treated by Nebulized MgSO4

Asthma is a common chronic respiratory illness which results in frequent wheezing, cough,reduced quality of life. Standard treatment for asthma attack includes oxygen therapy, β2-agonists (e.g. albuterol) and inhaled anticholinergics and corticosteroids. Although inhaled short-acting β2-agonists (SAB) is the initial choice to control acute asthma exacerbation, there are still some asthmatic children unresponsive to this management. The Global Initiative in National Asthma (GINA) does not recommend intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) for routine use in asthma exacerbation especially in young children. But intravenous MgSO4 can reduce hospital admission rates in certain patients due to several effects e.g relaxation of smooth muscle,blocking acetylcholine. In addition,adding MgSO4 to nebulized SAB provides greater benefit in severe asthma exacerbation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. changes of lung function

    to observe changes of Forced expiratory volume in one second and peak expiratory flow in controlled asthmatic children after respectively nebulized MgSO4、albuterol and combination of MgSO4 and albuterol in lung function test.

    Measured: 10minutes and 20minutes post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Nebulized magnesium sulfate alone effectively improve lung function

    After Ach challenge,FEV1 and PEF decreased in all three groups.But only in albuterol and magnesium group,they presented statistically significant while not in combination therapy group.After each intervention, FEV1 and PEF increased.But there was only statistically significant in FEV1 of magnesium and PEF of albuterol at 10 minutes and these two treatment at 20 minutes

    Measured: 10minutes and 20minutes post-dose

  2. the number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    to observe if anyone appear side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hypotension et al in patients who participating in our experiment. we did not found adverse reaction or other side effect in the study.

    Measured: 20minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnesium Sulfate & albuterol, albuterol and magnesium in people with Asthma, run by Chongqing Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes of lung function (time frame: 10minutes and 20minutes post-dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 May 2013.
