Hepworth C, et al. - Among 169 children (aged 2 to 18) with asthma attended and completed a mean of 6 physiotherapy sessions, researchers evaluated the impact of breathing retraining on asthma symptoms and dysfunctional breathing (DB). Participants attended appointments for outpatient physiotherapy and received individually tailored interventions, especially Buteyko breathing techniques. Data reported that the mean Asthma Control Test (ACT) score improved by 4.4, the mean childhood ACT (CACT) score improved by 4.9, and the mean Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ) score change improved by -9.3 points. In addition to standard medical therapy, on all levels of asthma treatment, individually tailored physiotherapy interventions improved asthma control and DB in children. To determine whether these improvements are due to the intervention, a randomized controlled study is required.
