Although the prevalence of asthma has risen, improvements have occurred in hospitalisation, mortality, symptom control and quality of life (QoL). Introduction: the need for innovations in asthma management strategiesĪmong the outstanding achievements of modern medicine are the remarkable improvements in asthma outcomes occurring over the latter part of the last century. We conclude that patients whose asthma continues to cause symptoms and quality-of-life impairment, despite adequate pharmacological treatment, or who have high bronchodilator use, should be offered access to an effective breathing training programme as a part of holistic, integrated asthma care. The types of breathing training programmes used and the content of effective programmes are discussed. This review summarises the current evidence of effectiveness of breathing exercises programmes as an adjuvant treatment to pharmacological strategies for people with asthma. Recent evidence, however, has resulted in endorsement of breathing exercises as add-on treatment in asthma in systematic reviews and guidelines. The place of breathing exercises has been controversial, partly because some proponents have made exaggerated, implausible claims of effectiveness. Many patients are interested in non-pharmacological treatments to improve asthma control, particularly breathing control exercises but, until recently, the evidence base has been inadequate. Although most patients in clinical trials can achieve high levels of control with optimised pharmacotherapy, in “real-life” practice, poor control is common, with over-reliance on rescue bronchodilator medication and ongoing symptoms and quality-of-life impairment. Having asthma is inherently stressful and psychological problems are common and associated with poor asthma outcomes.
