New treatment option for Asthma
Official title Effects of Balloon-blowing Exercises in 90/90 Bridge Position With a Ball on Pulmonary Function Among Asthmatic Patients
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06660537
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- In asthma, the airways in the respiratory system can experience inflammation and constriction, causing increased difficulty in expelling air during exhalation. This results in disruptions to respiratory parameters, exercise intolerance, and a diminished overall quality of life.Engaging in balloon-blowing exercises while in a 90/90 bridge position with the use of a ball will lead to enhanced pulmonary function and quality of life in individuals with asthma.
