Nutrition for Asthmatics Study
This study is looking at how different diets might help people with asthma. Researchers want to see if a standard diet (DGA Diet), a standard diet with added medium chain triglycerides (MCT Diet), or a ketogenic diet (KETO Diet) can improve asthma control and lung function. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 65 years old, have asthma diagnosed by a specialist, and your asthma is partly controlled or uncontrolled. The study will measure your asthma control at the beginning and after you try each diet. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 15 participants.
- Study design
- This is a pilot study with 15 adult participants. It uses a crossover design, meaning each participant will try all three diets.
- What's involved
- You will undergo screening, a lead-in period, and then follow three different 7-day diets. There will be a break of at least 7 days between each diet.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your asthma control will be measured after 7 days on each diet.
