چکیده
In a study, published by Bowler et al the Buteyko method was compared with traditional asthma education and general breathing exercises. In both groups the participants were encouraged to use their reliever (beta-agonist) only when asthma symptoms were present. Inhaled preventer (corticosteroid) medicines were gradually reduced if the patient remained stable. Thirty-nine subjects were randomised to this study (20 in the control group and 19 in the Buteyko group). Those treated with Buteyko needed their reliever inhalers less often, and there was a trend towards lower inhaled corticosteroid use.
