NCT00762931
The goal of this study is to validate design for the Resolve™ Stimulator and Proximity Electrode and the associated procedure to quickly and safely place an electrode into the neck, in the vicinity of the vagus nerve by a physician in either the Emergency Department or other appropriate hospital inpatient setting (e.g., ICU). The secondary goal is to confirm that the electrical signal being delivered via this electrode rapidly counters bronchoconstriction and improves airway flow.
NCT03489655
Adults with asthma living in Chicago's West and Southwest side who completed the home-based Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention called Helping Chicago's Westside Adults Breathe and Thrive (HCWABT I) after October 2015 were eligible to participate in a randomized control trial called HCWABT II, which will evaluate the long-term impact of the intervention on their asthma control, asthma severity, healthcare use, and asthma-related quality of life. Participants are randomly assigned to an intervention arm, where they continue to receive occasional (monthly or bimonthly) contact from the CHW who served them during HCWABT I. or a control arm, where they no longer receive contact from the CHW. Members of both groups receive monthly data collection calls from a Research Assistant. We hypothesize that participants in the control arm will experience sustained improvements in asthma outcomes as compared to their pre-HCWABT I levels and that participants in the CHW intervention arm will continue to improve in asthma control severity, quality of life, and healthcare use.
