    Hypnosis significantly reduced exercise-induced asthma (EIA) symptoms in patients. This mind-body technique demonstrated a notable impact on bronchospasm, offering a potential complementary therapy for asthma management.

    Area of Science:

    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Psychoneuroimmunology
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Hypnosis has a long history in asthma treatment, but its efficacy remains debated.
    • Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is a common condition characterized by bronchospasm following physical exertion.
    • Objective assessment of hypnosis's impact on EIA pathophysiology is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of hypnosis in mitigating exercise-induced asthma (EIA).
    • To quantify the effect of hypnosis on pulmonary mechanics during exercise challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten stable asthma patients underwent treadmill exercise challenges.
    • Pulmonary function, specifically forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), was measured pre- and post-exercise.

  • Comparisons included control challenges, hypnosis, and nebulized saline or cromolyn (double-blind).

    • Main Results:

    • Hypnosis prior to exercise reduced FEV1 decrease by 15.9%, significantly less than the 31.8% decrease in control conditions (p < 0.001).
    • Cromolyn pretreatment resulted in a 7.6% FEV1 decrease.
    • Hypnosis demonstrated a significant ability to attenuate exercise-induced bronchospasm.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypnosis can effectively alter the physiological response of bronchospasm in asthma patients post-exercise.
    • Findings suggest hypnosis is a viable complementary therapy for managing exercise-induced asthma.
    • Further research into the mechanisms of hypnosis in asthma is warranted.
