Could a simple mineral ease severe asthma attacks in kids?
NCT ID NCT06785272
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving intravenous magnesium (IVMg) early to children aged 2-17 with severe asthma in the emergency room can reduce their breathing distress more than a placebo. About 192 children who still have moderate-to-severe symptoms after initial treatment will receive either IVMg or a placebo. The goal is to see if magnesium helps them breathe easier within two hours, potentially improving care and reducing hospital stays.
