The sensitivity and repeatability of the exercise test will be measured.', 'detailedDescription': 'Subjects suffering form exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) usually have a normal lung function testing at rest. To provoke asthma symptoms a provocation test is necessary, e.g., by bronchial methacholine testing or by a standardised exercise test on a treadmill. The correlation between methacholine and exercise test is fair, possibly because both methods measure different kinds of bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Moreover, the sensitivity and the repeatability of the exercise test is fair.\n\nThe value of the methacholine test to predict a positive exercise test will be measured. We hypothesize that the exercise test in a cold chamber, a combination of two provocation methods cold air and exercise, is more sensitive to detect EIB and that the test has a better repeatability.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '45 Years', 'minimumAge': '6 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Informed consent\n* Patients: Age \\>6 and \\<18 years\n* Subjects: Age \\>/=18 and \\<45 years\n* sportive, 1-2x exercise per week\n* bronchial hyperresponsiveness in the medical history\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* lung function Forced vital capacity (FVC) \\<80% and Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \\<75%\n* chronic diseases or infections (e.g. HIV, Tbc)\n* pregnancy\n* systemic corticosteroid-treatment\n* inhalative corticosteroid therapy or leukotriene antagonists \\<14d\n* alcohol, substance or drug abuse\n* smokers\n* inability to capture extend and consequences of the study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02026492', 'briefTitle': 'Exercise Challenge in a Cold Chamber', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction in a Cold Chamber Compared to Methacholine Challenge', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'KGU-208/13'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': '40 patients aged 6-18 years', 'description': 'All 40 patients with a diagnosis of asthma are recruited from the outpatients clinic of the department of Pediatric Pneumology and Allergology of the University Hospital Frankfurt.
