  • Secondary outcomes include quality of life, psychological status, lung function, and neuroimaging (MRI).

    • Main Results:

    • Analysis of covariance and linear mixed-effects models will be used.
    • Correlation and mediation analyses will explore links between clinical and neuroimaging data.
    • Intention-to-treat principle will guide statistical analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings are expected to support acupuncture's therapeutic role in asthma.
    • Elucidating neuroregulatory mechanisms will inform optimized acupuncture application.
    • This research contributes to a mechanism-informed approach to asthma management.
