A Clinical Trial on Effectiveness and Safety of Hydrogen Generator to Treat Dyspnea for the Patients With Tracheal Stenosis: A Randomized, Double-blind and Single-center Clinical Study

November 8, 2016 updated by: ShiYue Li, Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease

A Clinical Trial on Effectiveness and Safety of Inhaling Hydrogen-oxygen to Decreases Inspiratory Effort for the Patients With Tracheal Stenosis: A Randomized, Double-blind and Single-center Clinical Study

Investigators aim to study the effectiveness and safety of inhaling hydrogen-oxygen which produced by a hydrogen generator with nebulizer to decreases inspiratory effort for the patients with tracheal stenosis.

  4. Pregnant or lactating women;
  5. Those who could not understand the trial procedures and correctly the trial equipment;
  6. Those who participated in other clinical trials in the first 3 months before the screening date.

Quit criteria

  1. The subjects requiring emergency intubation or other intervention or surgical treatment due to worsened tracheal stenosis;
  2. Subjects who had severe adverse events during treatment;
  3. Subjects who did not want to continue to participate in the trial;
  4. The subjects who were necessarily terminated for the trial by the investigators.
