Abstract

Since the introduction of medical therapy for asthma the interest in non-medical treatments deteriorated. Physiotherapy could have beneficial effects in asthmatics. This review investigates the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the treatment of patients with asthma. A review was performed on the terms breathing exercises (BE), inspiratory muscle training (IMT), physical training (PhT) and airway clearance (AC) in patients with asthma. The search resulted in 237 potentially relevant articles, after exclusion 23 articles remained. BE (n = 9) may improve disease specific quality of life (QoL), reduce symptoms, hyperventilation, anxiety and depression, lower respiratory rate and medication use. IMT (n = 3) can improve inspiratory pressure and may reduce medication use and symptoms. PhT (n = 12) can reduce symptoms, improve QoL and improve cardiopulmonary endurance and fitness. In conclusion, physiotherapy may improve QoL, cardiopulmonary fitness and inspiratory pressure and reduce symptoms and medication use. Further studies, investigating combinations of techniques, are needed to confirm these findings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
