About this trial

As asthma is chronic condition which interferes with quality of life and exercise tolerance, so it is important to find out cost-effective alternative for the management of asthma due to increased prevalence and rising health care cost as well . Therefore, to provide comprehensive asthma treatment, it is necessary to rule out and address the factor affecting quality of life and exercise tolerance. Asthmatics require stepwise approach which contains assessment treatment planning and review of response. Along with this modification of risk factors, controller therapy is adjusted accordingly. But this is inadequate for asthma management as pharmacological management has some side effects. So, in addition to medical care, Papworth method provides good adjuvant to control asthma symptoms. Asthma subjects require comprehensive approach to deal with these hyperinflation and hyperventilation which are common manifestations of asthma
