Filter by:The overall aim of this study will be to perform a prospective randomized clinical trial of an enhanced version of the IMPACT DC intervention involving short-term case management to facilitate PCP follow-up appointments and to provide education for parents about how to communicate more effectively with their children's PCPs as a means (1) to improve the rate of utilization of primary care services for ongoing asthma care and (2) to enhance the self-efficacy of parents in their interactions with their children's provider regarding the child's asthma care needs in 150 parents of high risk children referred within the IMPACT DC Asthma Clinic.
a study to describe patient and physician satisfaction with montelukast therapy for the control of asthma used either as monotherapy or in combination with inhaled corticosteroids
The Scottish National and District swimming teams will be screened for asthma and rhinitis using both mannitol challenge and sport-based exercise challenge.
The objective of this study is to compare the relative bronchoprotection (at trough) conferred by 2-week chronic dosing with levosalbutamol and racemic salbutamol in mild to moderate asthmatics. Patients will be preselected into two groups on the basis of their beta-2 adrenoreceptor polymorphisms. The investigators will evaluate if this has a differential effect on the bronchoprotection conferred by both formulations of salbutamol, as evidenced by a rebound in airway hyper-responsiveness, in order to determine whether any effect can be explained by the S enantiomer in the racemic formulation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Fluticasone/ salmeterol combination and double the dose of fluticasone on airway hyper-responsiveness to methacholine in a randomised, double blind, double dummy, cross-over trial.
The primary purpose was to evaluate the efficacy of SKP FlutiForm HFA MDI compared to placebo or fluticasone and formoterol administered concurrently or alone in asthma patients.
There is currently no effective way to prevent development of allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) and asthma and no cure. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), a type of therapy in which allergens are placed under the tongue, may be a way to control and possibly prevent allergic rhinitis and asthma. However, detailed research of this approach is limited. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a sublingual cockroach extract given to adults with perennial allergic rhinitis, asthma, or both.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether addition of extra-fine particle steroid inhalers achieve additional suppression of small airways inflammation when added to 'standard' Fluticasone/Salmeterol combination therapy in refractory asthma.
A single center pilot study to determine the protective effects of RhuMAB-E25 on airway physiology and biology in allergic asthmatics that undergo bronchoprovocation with methacholine. The primary study objective determines the protective impact of RhuMAB-E25 on airway inflammation as reflected in exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels in allergic asthmatics. The secondary objective determines the protective effect of rhuMAB E25 against airway bronchoconstriction as reflected in the Provocative Concentration of methacholine to cause a 20% fall in FEV1(PC20) with methacholine challenge testing.
The purpose of the Utah ePRM (electronic Pharmacotherapy Risk Management) project is to improve quality and safety of medication use while simultaneously controlling costs and detecting fraud and abuse.
