Summary

This study tests whether adding black seed oil (Nigella sativa) to standard asthma medication can improve asthma control and lung function in children aged 6–18 with moderate persistent asthma. Ninety children will receive either a low or high dose of black seed oil capsules or a placebo, alongside their usual inhaled steroids. The goal is to see if this natural supplement can reduce inflammation and help them breathe better.
