But this therapy may not be effective in treating conditions that are severe or persistent.
Is the treatment of bronchial asthma thermoplasty new potential undergoing clinical testing. Developed by a medical device company called Asthma., this procedure has the potential to provide assistance to patients with asthma who did not respond to conventional treatment. A clinical trial conducted in sixteen adults with mild to moderate asthma who did not respond to current asthma treatment. The results of this study is encouraging as 75 percent of participants reported that the new treatment is allowed to function better in daily activities and reduce the peak expiratory flow readings.

Definition and Causes of Disease Bronchial Asthma
Bronchial asthma is a disease that causes a reversible paroxysmal bronchial obstruction. It is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness to various stimuli.
Causes of disease Bronchial asthma
Bronchial asthma can be triggered by different stimuli.
- The extrinsic or allergic asthma is triggered by specific allergens (house dust, pollen and mold from the air, animal dander), symptoms are associated with immunoglobulin class IgE.
It occurs mainly in children and young subjects.
Occupational asthma is allergic asthma.
- Intrinsic asthma is not inflammatory or allergic. It is the inhalation of irritants (exhaust smells of fresh paint or other substances, cigarette smoke) and infections, sometimes even violent emotions, variations in atmospheric pressure or temperature, the Inhalation of cold air, triggering the crisis.
- Some medications can cause asthma (aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, beta blockers, etc..)
