Reflux Disease Therapy in the Management of Childhood Asthma-data Entry and Analysis Only

Completed

Conditions studied: Asthma, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

In brief

There have been a number of studies which attribute causality between reflux disease and asthma. In addition, clinicians typically treat chronic asthmatics with high dose acid suppressing medications (e.g. lansoprazole). However, clinical trials only recently have shed some light on this dilemma, with recent studies suggesting that the association is not as clear. This "retrospective" analysis of a prospective study which treated mod-severe asthmatics with lansoprazole or placebo will enter the collected raw data into a database, then perform statistical analyses to determine if children with asthma treated with acid suppression improved their asthma compared to those receiving placebo.
