Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessment Of The Effects Of Short and Long Term Use Of CPAP (NCT NCT00592631)

NCT ID: NCT00592631

Last Updated: 2016-02-10

Results Overview

Methacholine is an inhaled medication used to assess asthma and reactive airways. It was given at increasing concentrations (beginning with 0.0625 mg/ml and ending with 16.0 mg/ml). Each dose was followed by a lung measurement until a change of FEV1 of 20% occurs or until a maximum dose was reached, whichever came first.
