Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation on House Dust Mite Sensitive Asthma
Randomised Controlled Trial of Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation on Asthma Control of Patients Allergic to the House Dust Mite
Asthma has become increasingly common in the UK, demanding our consideration of the cause. Many patients with asthma are allergic to house dust mites, which thrive in modern housing. Improving ventilation in the home has been shown to reduce dust mite levels, by reducing humidity levels. It is hoped that, by removing the dust mites from homes, asthma may improve. In this study, 140 volunteers will have their carpets steam-cleaned and new allergy bedding provided, before a team of architects installs a ventilation system in the loft. Half of the units will be switched on at the beginning of the study. The other half will be switched on in 12 months time, but only the architects know which units are active. The medical team will compare the asthma, and measures of inflammation in the airways, over that year.
It is due for completion in April 2007.
