Chromium supplement for better asthma control in obesity
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a chromium supplement can help people with asthma who are also obese. It looks at whether the supplement helps you lose weight and improves your asthma control, since weight loss often makes breathing easier.

This trial tests whether the diabetes drug metformin can help people with asthma who are also overweight or obese. The goal is to see if it improves asthma control and reduces the need for rescue medications.
This trial tests whether taking ginger supplements can improve asthma control for adults whose symptoms are not well managed with their current inhaled steroids. If you have persistent asthma and are already using an inhaled steroid, this study may help see if ginger can reduce your symptoms.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding L-citrulline can improve asthma control in overweight adults whose asthma started later in life. It compares your asthma symptoms and lung testing results to see if the supplement helps when asthma is already being treated.
This study tests whether adding a daily chromium supplement can help improve blood sugar control, fat metabolism, and reduce stress and inflammation in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. It may offer an additional way to manage your condition.
This study tests a program that combines exercise and other support to help people with difficult-to-control asthma feel better and be more active. It aims to improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This study looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
