Read our Asthma research guide →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 alternate nostril breathing exercises work better than using a device called an incentive spirometer to improve how well your lungs function in asthma. Both techniques are breathing exercises that you do yourself — the study wants to compare which one helps you breathe better by measuring your lung capacity and how fast you can breathe out.
Many asthma patients are looking for ways to improve their breathing beyond just medications. This trial exists to see if simple, natural breathing techniques can help strengthen your lungs and improve your asthma symptoms.

You would be assigned to learn either alternate nostril breathing or how to use an incentive spirometer device (a handheld tool that helps you practice deep breathing). You would practice your assigned breathing technique regularly, and the study team would measure your lung function using standard breathing tests at different visits to see which technique works better for you.
