The Effect of a Dietary Supplement Rich in Nitric Oxide in Patients Diagnosed With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.
- Conditions
- Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
- Interventions
- Dietary Supplement: Beet-it Juice
- Registration Number
- NCT04489472
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a dietary supplement rich in nitric oxide (NO) on nasal nitric oxide and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO),on ciliary beat frequency assessed by high-speed digital video microscopy and on lung function assessed by spirometry in normal patients and patients with Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in nasal FeNO as measured by using the NIOX MINO® Airway Inflammation Monitor Baseline,after beet juice consumption(2 hours after consumption) Change in nasal NO as measured by a chemiluminescence analyzer Baseline,after beet juice consumption( 2 hours after consumption)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in ciliary beat frequency as measured using high-speed video-microscopy (HSVM) after beet juice consumption(2 hours after consumption) Change in lung function as measured by spirometry Baseline,after beet juice consumption(2 hours after consumption) spirometry is used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale,how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale
