Impact of Modified Specific Carbohydrate Diet on Bronchial Asthma Control in Children

NCT05728385•Tanta University

Summary

The aim of this study will explore if the specific carbohydrate diet has an effect on asthma control in children and if it will affect the frequency, severity, and duration of asthma and thus provide it as a potential complementary treatment option for them.

All children at the start of the study will be subjected to full history taking including, full nutritional assessment, laboratory tests, Pulmonary function tests, and Anthropometric measurements
