Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine medical doctor. We are not physicians. Always confer with your doctor on Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma Clinical research trials and Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma healthcare trials take place in many of cities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs. The function of the studies / undertakings is to answer specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find treatments for all forms of conditions, including Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma. Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to access medical treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the test subjects undergo treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes recieve the best healthcare possible for their Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Outdoor Allergen Exposure, Sensitivity, and Acute Asthma
For Condition: Asthma
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) ,
Synopsis: To examine the role of outdoor pollen grains and fungal spores in the exacerbation of asthma and to produce forecasting models to predict days of high concentration.
Details: Asthma is a growing problem, and outdoor allergens play a role in exacerbation of many cases. A clearer understanding of this role and its magnitude, and a means of controlling the effects of outdoor allergen exposures is needed. We propose Poisson time-series and conditional panel studies to test these hypotheses: 1) The incidence of acute asthma attacks, as measured by urgent care inhalation treatments and hospitalizations for asthma, has a dose-dependent relationship with exposure to specific outdoor allergens; 2) Specific sensitization to outdoor allergens is a risk factor for having an acute attack; and 3) Exposure conditions that lead to acute asthma attacks can be forecast, creating an opportunity to reduce asthma morbidity and mortality ny targeting pretreatment and/or exposure controls.
