About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study will determine if airway resistance to airflow and pressure, measured by Oscillometry, is associated with abnormal findings on methacholine challenge testing and whether these findings are associated with body habitus,
The group in the trial
- Subjects with dyspnea referred for methacholine challenge testing
Subjects with dyspnea being evaluated for asthma who are referred for methacholine challenge testing
Treatment: Oscillometer
Questions to ask the study team
