Adults with asthma may improve their sense of well-being and control over their disease by learning breathing exercises and incorporating these exercises into their asthma medication regimen, researchers report.
?Breathing exercises did not ?cure? asthma,? Dr. Mike Thomas told Reuters Health. However, when used in addition to usual treatments, breathing exercises can improve asthma symptoms and quality of life measures for asthma patients, said Thomas, of the University of Aberdeen in the UK.
Thomas and colleagues compared the benefits of physiotherapist-supervised breathing training versus nurse-delivered asthma education in moderately impaired, but otherwise healthy, asthma patients, who were an average of 46 years old.
