Common supplement tested as potential asthma relief for kids

NCT ID NCT04160910

Summary

This study is testing whether an over-the-counter supplement called 5HTP can improve breathing and reduce anxiety in children with mild to moderate asthma. About 20 children ages 8-18 will take either 5HTP or a placebo for several weeks, then switch to see if there's a difference. Researchers will measure lung function, blood markers, and anxiety levels over 12 weeks to see if the supplement helps.
