This study tests if taking fish oil during pregnancy can help lower the risk of childhood asthma. If you have low omega-3 levels, you may be randomly assigned to receive fish oil or a placebo.
This study looks at how vitamin D levels relate to asthma control, lung function, and oxidative stress in adults with asthma. It may help understand if checking vitamin D could improve asthma management.
This trial studies whether an early steroid treatment can lower the chance that children will go on to develop asthma after their first severe “wheezing” episode caused by a rhinovirus (a common cold virus). If you qualify, the goal is to prevent future asthma rather than just treat the current episode.
This study tests whether a high-dose vitamin D supplement can help preschool children have fewer acute asthma-like symptoms (coughing, wheezing, or trouble breathing) that require hospital care. It may help by supporting the immune and airway system, but you can only join if the child meets several safety and treatment criteria.
This study tests whether vitamin D supplements can help prevent preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy condition with high blood pressure) in women with low vitamin D levels. You would take vitamin D pills during pregnancy and be monitored to see if this reduces your risk.
This trial tests whether taking vitamin D can help pregnant women who had preeclampsia before avoid getting it again. It may protect both you and your baby.
