Breathing exercises for asthma

Impact of non-drug therapies on asthma control: A systematic review of the literature

“…The first review, of breathing exercises in patients of all ages, included seven articles. The heterogeneous nature of the interventions and effectiveness criteria precluded the authors from drawing any robust conclusions for practice [50]. Two articles about manual therapies, such as osteopathy, were included in another review, and found no evidence of effectiveness [51].…”

Comparison between breathing and aerobic exercise on clinical control in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma: protocol of a randomized trial

“…In addition, the practice of breathing exercises have been shown to improve HRQoL, peak expiratory flow, asthma symptoms as well as to reduce the levels of hyperventilation symptoms, anxiety and depression and medication consumption [44]. A recent Cochrane review demonstrated that individual trials reported positive effects of breathing exercises, but authors concluded that no reliable conclusions could be drawn concerning the use of breathing exercises in asthma control [10].…”
