This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a breathing technique called alternative nostril breathing—when practiced together with your regular asthma medication—helps reduce shortness of breath and improves overall asthma control. Some participants will learn and practice this special breathing technique for 4 weeks alongside their usual medication, while others will continue with medication alone. Researchers will measure how much each approach helps with breathing difficulties and asthma symptoms.
Many people with asthma struggle with shortness of breath even when taking medication, and research suggests that specific breathing exercises may help calm overbreathing that makes asthma worse. This trial aims to find out whether adding a simple nasal breathing technique to standard medication treatment could give patients extra relief.

If you join, you'll be in the study for 4 weeks. One group will attend two supervised breathing exercise sessions per week with a physical therapist, then practice the same exercises at home on your own for 5 days; you'll keep a home diary to track your practice. The other group will continue taking their prescribed asthma medication as usual. Both groups will have measurements taken before the study starts and again after 4 weeks to see how much breathing and asthma control have improved.
