Randomized clinical trial: Impact of Bactecal® on asthma control and inflammation - 20/03/24
Résumé |
Introduction |
Asthma disease is linked to a dysbiosis. Synbiotics are a combination of probiotics and prebiotics, which are well tolerated and safe. They have been shown to have positive effects on asthma condition in in vivo models and in some studies on asthmatic patients. However, the literature focusing on their effects on asthma condition is limited and human studies are still insufficient.
Methods |
We performed a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial to assess the impact of a synbiotic (namely Bactecal®) on asthma control, quality of life, lung function, blood and airway inflammation on uncontrolled asthmatic patients 1–3–6 months after the synbiotic intake.
Results |
Compared to placebo, the synbiotic positively impacted the lung function and reduced eosinophilic airway inflammation and sputum IL-4 level.
Conclusion |
The synbiotic Bactecal® had a positive impact on patients with uncontrolled asthma. It improved the lung function while decreasing airway type-2 inflammation.
