 * Ding Chuan Tang**, a Chinese herb decoction, could improve airway hyper-responsiveness in stabilized asthmatic children: a randomized, double-blind clinical trial *.

Pediatric Allergy & Immunology. 17(5):316-322, August 2006. Chan, Chin-Kan 1,2, Taiwan - assessed the effect of Ding Chuan Tang (DCT) in airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) on asthmatic children via randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. This study enrolled children who were aged 8-15 and diagnosed as mild to moderate persistent asthma patients.

They were randomly allocated to receive 6.0 g DCT or placebo daily for 12 wk. The total clinical and medication reduced parameters showed improvement in the DCT group (p = 0.004). The AHR, symptom and medication scores in children with persistent asthma were significantly improved with DCT treat for 12 wk. The results suggested more stable airways achieved with such an add-on complementary therapy.
