The Influence of Inhaled Adrenalin Versus Decongestant as a Local Nasal

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This was a randomized, double blinded, controlled trial. The aim of the study was to compare xylometazoline HCL nasal drops to inhalation of epinephrine as a treatment for bronchiolitis.

The study hypothesis is:xylometazoline HCL nasal drops treatment is good as epinephrine inhalation for treatment of bronchiolitis.

Signed informed consent was obtained from a parent of each child. And the human ethics committee of our hospital approved the study according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.(Approved - 2002)

Patients:

65 infants who were admitted to Pediatric A- a general pediatric ward, in Schneider Children's Medical Center because of bronchiolitis during winter in two consecutive years 2004-2005.

The inclusion criteria were: Full term previously healthy Infants, ages 1-12 months, after informed consent was signed with clinical presentation of mild to moderate bronchiolitis according to a clinical score .Exclusion criteria were as follows: prematurity, congenital lung or cardiac disease, infants who had past hospitalization due to respiratory illness and severe bronchiolitis (score>7 with a range scale 0-10).

Clinical Trial Description

All eligible patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group 1 (control) received inhalation of epinephrine 1mg, in 2cc of 0.9% saline solution four times a day, and nasal drops of 0.9% saline for each nostril every twelve hours. Group 2 - the study group received four inhalation of 0.9% saline four times a day and one nasal drop of xylometazoline HCL to each nostril twice a day. This treatment continued until the patient was ready for discharge.

Patients were examined and evaluated at the study entry and were re-evaluated every 10-12 hours. Length of hospital stay,time to improve Oxygen saturation, time to the need of IV fluid and clinical score between the two groups of treatment were compared. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
