Trial Information

Summary: Visualizing and Quantifying Asthma using Hyperpolarized He MRI and Lung Mechanics (Hypex II)

The Asthma Research Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital is recruiting severe asthmatics age 18 and older who are taking medications for their asthma. The research study involves five 2-hour visits over 4-6 weeks at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the compensation is up to $525. The study involves acquiring lung mechanics (measuring pressures and volumes in the lung) data and MRI images of the lung using hyperpolarized Helium gas at baseline conditions, after bronchial challenge by Methacholine, which narrows airways, and post bronchial relaxation by Albuterol, which opens airways. All study medication will be provided.Call us at 617-732-8201 or 1-888-99-ASTHMA or email contact information to arc@partners.org to learn more.
