Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a Buteyko-based breathing technique on physiological and psychological parameters in adults with asthma

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators explore the effects of a Buteyko-based breathing technique training using a treatment group vs. control group design and a repeated measures design with follow-up measurements 3 and 6 months after the intervention. The sample size calculation was made for an effect of d = .20 with repeated measures, a power of 1- β = .80 and α = .05. Additionally the investigators plan to take measurements (only once) from healthy volunteers matching them (age and gender) with the asthma patients.
