Detailed Description

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

Asthma treatment is not only medical, it also requires a comprehensive care including nonpharmacological treatment. Pulmonary rehabilitation represents the most important part of the comprehensive care. The investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with uncontrolled and partially controlled asthma.

Asthma patients referred to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) unit were classified according to asthma control test; as partially controlled patients (Group 1), and as uncontrolled patients (Group 2). All patients received of a 8 week pulmonary rehabilitation program. Asthma control tests, pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases analysis, dyspnea perception, quality of life, exercise capacity, anxiety and depression assessments were performed before and after pulmonary rehabilitation.
