Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this randomized, placebo controlled study is to evaluate the effect of respiratory exercises on asthma attack frequency, symptom and medication scores and quality of life of children with a diagnosis of asthma.

Participants will be asked to perform respiratory exercises described at once in hospital at home regularly. Control group will comprised children with asthma without respiratory exercises.

Description:

At the beginning of the study anthropometric measurements, basal respiratory function assessment, drugs, demographic information, allergen sensitivity, asthma control levels and quality of life scales will be documented. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups; one group following respiratory exercises and relaxation exercises and the other following only relaxation exercises. Both groups will be called regularly to remind the exercises.

The spirometric tests and asthma control forms will be reevaluated at the 3rd and 6th month at hospital.

Peak flow meters will be given to patients to document PEF values during study.
