An interventional study of Magnesium and Education for asthma action plan in Asthma and Aged, sponsored by Sang-Heon Cho. Status unknown at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 65 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2013-04-30.
Sponsored by Sang-Heon Cho · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
We want to examine the effect of multidisciplinary interventions in asthma patients who had experienced acute exacerbation of asthma.
In our previous observational studies, elderly asthma patients had a some distinct features such as impairment of cognitive function, deficiency of micronutrient and absence of caregiver compared with young adult asthmatics.
We wanted to evaluate whether the long-term course of asthma could be modified by intervening deficienies which were found in elderly patiensts.
So, we designed a interventional study to correct above risk factors in elderly asthma patients, which could be aggravating their asthma. Followings are our specific multidiciplinary items that we want to correct.
After 1 years, we will measure the numbers of acute exacerbations, lung function including FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, health-related quality of life and level of serum magnesium in study patients.
3,921 studies on the registry are indexed under Asthma; 507 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 360 is above the median of 83 across 2,752 interventional studies indexed under Asthma.

Inclusion Criteria:
elderly asthma patients who had experienced acute exacerbation of asthma
1)aggravations of any of major criteria
nocturnal symptoms
2)aggravation of more than one of following criteria
We designed a intervention study to correct additional risk factors in elderly asthma patients. We offer following specific interventions simultaneously to intervention arm and will measure the effects of interventions after 1 years. 1. popularize and educate the asthma action plan 2. run a emergency call system for acute exacerbation 3. educate the proper techniques using inhalers 4. correct the deficiency of magnesium (magnesium 500mg per day)
