“…In addition, self-hypnosis assisted relaxation reduced emergency room visits, again in a single study that also found that self-reports of asthma improved in the self-hypnosis group [72]. In contrast, hospital admission rates were not decreased following biofeedback [73], nor were selfhypnosis rates or use of as-needed medications [74], but emergency room visits were in a single study [75]. The results from these studies highlight the variability in outcome measures employed and the difficulty of understanding these studies in a systematic manner given this variability.…”

Asthma has long been considered a condition in which psychological distress exerts a negative impact. Epidemiological studies confirm that depression and anxiety disorders, amongst the most common psychiatric disorders, occur in higher rates in people with asthma than in the general population. Alterations in the stress axis, immune and autonomic nervous systems appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of each disorder and may contribute to the observed associations between these conditions. Although there is increasing recognition of the importance of treating psychological distress to optimize symptom control in people with asthma, there are few studies examining whether specific treatments for depression or anxiety can improve symptom control in asthma and result in better overall function and outcome.

“…The literature search identified 105 articles, of which 12 met our eligibility criteria [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] (Table 3). Of the excluded studies 40 did not meet RCT criteria, 1 trial was a crossover design, 11 evaluated educational interventions only, and 5 evaluated family therapy.…”

This review was unable to draw firm conclusions for the role of psychological interventions for children with asthma. We recommend that valid outcome measures for evaluating the effectiveness of psychological interventions for children with asthma need to address adjustment to and coping with asthma, as well as other psychological indicators. The absence of an adequate evidence base is demonstrated, highlighting the need for well-conducted RCTs in this area.

Asthma has long been considered a condition in which psychological factors have a role. As in many illnesses, psychological variables may affect outcome in asthma via their effects on treatment adherence and symptom reporting. Emerging evidence suggests that the relation between asthma and psychological factors may be more complex than that, however. Central cognitive processes may influence not only the interpretation of asthma symptoms but also the manifestation of measurable changes in immune and physiologic markers of asthma. Furthermore, asthma and major depressive disorder share several risk factors and have similar patterns of dysregulation in key biologic systems, including the neuroendocrine stress response, cytokines, and neuropeptides. Despite the evidence that depression is common in people with asthma and exerts a negative impact on outcome, few treatment studies have examined whether improving symptoms of depression do, in fact, result in better control of asthma symptoms or improved quality of life in patients with asthma.
