Abstract

Introduction: Asthma is one of the most common chronic pulmonary diseases of childhood. The goal benefits patients not only in regard to improving quality of life, but also in reducing the risk of future exacerbations.  Pulmonary rehabilitation has become a standard of care for children with asthma. The aim of this study was to establish if drugs and respiratory rehabilitation applied at the same time lead to better control asthma and had no exacerbation.

Material and Methods: A total of 180 patients (100 boys and 80 girls) devided in to three groups according to the treatment: I first one with those treated only with medical treatment, II second one with those treated only with respiratory rehabilitation treatment  and third one with those treated both with medical treatment and respiratory rehabilitation. Each group had two subgroups of patients - first one with those had preventive therapy and second one with those had not.

Results:The data showed that almost all of the patients who were treated with the combination of medical treatment and paralel with respiratory rehabilitation procedures had significantly higher increase of amelioration (p<0,05) in comparison with patients who were treated just with medical treatment and (p<0,001) in comparison with patients  who were treated just with respiratory rehabilitation procedures, and especially  we  were obtained better results in patients with preventive therapy (p<0,05).

Conclusion: Asthma control needs long opservation and combined treatment: medical and preventive therapy and the respiratory rehabilitation like hinge for shorter and easier course of disease. Combination medicament treatment and respiratory rehabilitation procedures leads in statistically higher improvement and reduces the risk of future exacerbations.
