Summary

This study tested whether the Buteyko breathing technique, a method of controlled breathing, can reduce fatigue and improve exercise capacity and asthma control in people with asthma. 90 adults with a recent asthma diagnosis were split into two groups: one learned the Buteyko technique, and the other served as a control. The study measured changes in fatigue and asthma control using standard questionnaires.
