简要总结
The trial aims to record possible effects of a supplementary treatment with ivy leaves dry extract on different lung function parameter, on bronchial hyperreactivity, on individual markers of asthmatic inflammation and on the clinical symptom profile. The hypothesis is, that the additional therapy might improve these parameters and might help to optimize asthma therapy.
