First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving magnesium through an IV early on can reduce breathing trouble in children aged 2 to 17 who still have moderate-to-severe asthma after standard emergency treatment. About 192 children will be randomly assigned to receive either magnesium or a placebo. The main goal is to see if magnesium leads to greater improvement in a validated breathing score two hours after treatment.
