Breathing retraining for asthma shows potential benefits but requires more large-scale trials for definitive conclusions. Current evidence is limited, necessitating further research into this complementary asthma management technique.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Respiratory Health
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Breathing retraining is increasingly adopted by asthma patients worldwide as a complementary therapy.
  • Asthma management commonly includes pharmacotherapy alongside various non-pharmacological interventions.
  • The role of breathing techniques in improving asthma control remains an area of active investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the existing literature on the effectiveness of breathing retraining in asthma management.
  • To synthesize findings from randomized-controlled trials evaluating breathing retraining interventions for asthma.
  • To identify gaps in current research and guide future studies.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant randomized-controlled trials.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Studies involving breathing retraining interventions for patients with asthma were included.
  • Data extraction and synthesis were performed to assess treatment efficacy.

    • Main Results:

    • Six randomized-controlled trials investigating breathing retraining in asthma were identified.
    • Significant heterogeneity in reported outcomes and limited data reporting were noted across trials.
    • Individual trial results suggest potential benefits of breathing retraining in asthma management.

    Conclusions:

    • Current evidence is insufficient to draw firm conclusions on the effectiveness of breathing retraining for asthma.
    • Breathing retraining may play a role in the comprehensive management of asthma.
    • Further large-scale, high-quality randomized-controlled trials are essential to validate these findings.
