Implementation of Evidence-based Breathing Retraining for Patients with Asthma in Region Zealand
Sponsor: Naestved Hospital
Summary
This study aims to implement the evidence-based intervention breathing retraining into clinical care of patients with symptomatic asthma irrespective of asthma severity or comorbidities, and in a diverse multicentre setting to evaluate implementation outcomes. This will meet patients' needs and improve health and life situation in patients with uncontrolled asthma. Further, the study will evaluate implementation outcomes.

Breathing Retraining
Conforming the real-world setting, all participants will continue standard asthma care, i.e., acute and planned visits at GP or pulmonologist. BR aims to normalize the inhaled volume, nasal inhalation, exhalation to the resting position of the chest (functional residual capacity, FRC), use of the diaphragm muscle, and to move lower parts of the chest in a frequency of 12-16 per minute. This pattern is initially trained in rest (e.g., side lying or sitting), then during physical activity (e.g., walking). Uncontrolled coughing, frequent yawning or sighing is handled by a suppression technique. Relaxation technique is introduced as a separate activity but to be combined with the breathing pattern method to be used in both resting and as possible during physical activity.
