Magnesium for asthma and bronchiolitis in children
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if magnesium sulfate, given through an IV, helps children with asthma or bronchiolitis breathe easier. It's a simple treatment that might reduce symptoms and hospital stays for kids aged 1 month to 18 years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 18 years old.
- Your child has been diagnosed with bronchial asthma or acute bronchiolitis (a lung infection in small airways).
- Your child does not have congenital heart disease (a heart problem present at birth).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate through an IV early in the emergency room helps children aged 5–17 who are having a moderate asthma attack. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital stays.
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 trial tests whether giving babies an “isotonic saline” (salt-water mist, like a very mild saline solution) can help children with bronchiolitis symptoms. It may help by safely loosening mucus and improving breathing, compared with standard care.
This trial tests if giving magnesium sulfate through an IV helps children with moderate to severe asthma attacks in the emergency department. If your child is between 2 and 17 years old and still has trouble breathing after three puffs of standard asthma medicine, this study may be an option.
This trial tests if giving magnesium through the mouth works as well as through the vein to prevent confusion or agitation right after surgery in children having their tonsils out. It aims to find a simpler way to help kids wake up calmly.
This study tests whether giving magnesium before planned (elective) keyhole abdominal surgery can improve outcomes in children. It may help reduce problems related to anesthesia and muscle function during and after surgery.
