Methacholine challenge test in healthy adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests how healthy adults' lungs react to a substance called methacholine. It helps doctors understand normal lung responses and can be used for comparison with people who have asthma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be generally healthy with no lung disease or lung symptoms
- You cannot be taking any medicine for a lung condition
- You must not smoke or have smoked more than 5 pack-years total
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 40 or lower
- You must have good lung function as measured by breathing tests

This study measures how children's airways respond to a substance called methacholine to understand how asthma affects lung function. It compares children with and without asthma to help improve diagnosis and treatment.
This trial studies how well a special breathing test (forced oscillations) works during a methacholine challenge in children. It may help doctors better measure breathing sensitivity and guide treatment decisions.
This study looks at airway samples from people with asthma and healthy volunteers. It helps researchers understand what causes airway problems and could lead to better treatments.
This study is testing a new way to diagnose asthma in children and teens using simple breathing tests. If your regular breathing test wasn't clear, this might give a more accurate answer.
This trial tests a new way to measure airway response during asthma testing. It uses a technique called electrical impedance tomography to create images of your lungs while you perform a bronchial challenge test. This could help doctors diagnose asthma more accurately.
This study looks at how the airways in people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) react to certain triggers. It aims to understand if these airways are more sensitive, which could help improve treatment for breathing problems.
