Patterns of Neurocircuitry Activation In Severe Asthma

NCT03230188 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 28

Last updated 2019-01-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The overall purpose of the study is to compare the patterns of neurocircuitry activation in severe asthmatics vs. mild to moderate and healthy controls. The Investigators hypothesize that neurocircuitry activation increases with asthma severity, producing different neurocircuitry patterns for severe asthmatics than those of mild to moderate asthmatics or non-asthmatics.
