Summary

This study tests whether adding hand acupuncture to standard medicine can quickly improve breathing during an asthma flare-up. Researchers will measure lung function and symptom scores in 72 adults over 5 days. The goal is to see if acupuncture offers a new, drug-free option for emergency asthma care.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a drug-free way to quickly relieve asthma attacks.
What could go wrong
