Breathing exercises for asthma: a randomised controlled trial

Conclusion:

Breathing training resulted in improvements in asthma-specific

health status and other patient-centred measures but not in asthma

pathophysiology.

Such exercises may help patients whose quality of life is impaired

by asthma, but they are unlikely to reduce the need for anti-

inflammatory medication.
