Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Asthma group
Participants will be randomized to wear compression stockings or to control group for two weeks and cross over in the end of the period. When assigned to wear compression stockings, they will be instructed to put the stockings on as soon as they get up in the morning and to remove them just prior to bedtime for two weeks. If they have become loose, a new pair will be fitted. They will be given a diary to record the time they put on and remove the compression stockings each day. They will be telephoned after one week to check the fit of the compression stockings.
Compression Stockings
We will use knee length, ready-made compression stockings at a pressure of 20-30mmHg at the ankle and if a good fit cannot be obtained, custom-made stockings will be ordered. Patients will be measured for compression stockings by a certified fitter.
Control
Participants will not wearing compression stockings for two weeks.
