About this study

Official title: Response of Asthmatic Children's Lung Function to Nebulized Magnesium Sulfate After Acetylcholine Provocation Test: a Clinical Trail

As a non-selective bronchodilator, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is effective when administered intravenously in the treatment of the patients with acute severe asthma not responding to conventional therapy (oxygen, nebulized salbutamol, and corticosteroids), which can resulted in earlier improvement in clinical signs and symptoms of asthma and PEF. However, the use of intravenous MgSO4 administered is not common in clinical practice, because it's prone to have adverse effects and side effects such as nausea, vomiting, facial flushing, hypotension, decreased tendon reflexes and so on with this treatment. The aerosolised route offers the advantage of lower dosage, a shorter time of drug being delivered to the airway smooth muscle and lower incidence of side effects when compared to the intravenous route. At present, there are only a few studies about the effects of nebulized MgSO4 in the treatment of acute asthma in children, and the conclusions are controversial.

What is being measured

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

  1. changes of lung function after interventions

    to observe the changes of the lung function indices(FEV1、PEF) at 10 min and 20 min after inhaling magnesium sulfate, albuterol, or combination of magnesium sulfate and albuterol respectively.

    Measured: 10 min and 20 min post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. effectiveness of nebulized magnesium sulfate alone

    to observe the changes of the lung function indices(FEV1、PEF) at 10 min and 20 min after inhaling magnesium sulfate alone,and compared it with the patients who was nebulized inhalation albuterol alone.

    Measured: 10 min and 20 min post-dose

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

    to observe if any patient appear side effects or adverse effects like nausea, vomiting, hypotension or the change of deep tendon reflexes et al.

    Measured: 20 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnesium Sulfate, magnesium sulfate & albuterol and Albuterol 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 3 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 20 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 after interventions (time frame: 10 min and 20 min 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 20 May 2013.
