Brief Summary:
Objectives
To further evaluate the immediate long-term and cumulative effects of Tian Jiu Therapy on asthma
Hypothesis to be tested
The efficacy of Tian Jiu Therapy on asthma is also long-term and will be accumulated
Design and Subjects
Recruiting 167 asthma participants who received Tian Jiu Therapy under the primary study of HKCTR-1128 All subjects should be above age 13 and receive the same Tian Jiu Therapy 3 times per year from 2013 to 2015 A one-year follow-up after the last Tian Jiu treatment will be conducted
Study instruments
Modern USB PC-based Spirometer and Fingertip Pulse Oximeter
Interventions
Plastering some stimulating Chinese herbal cubes on certain acupoints in the three hottest days of each year for three consecutive years
Main outcome measures
Pulmonary Function Test Blood Oxygen Test Quality of Life and Standardized Questionnaire on asthma attack and symptoms will be administered before treatment after treatment of each year and one-year follow-up after the last treatment
Data analysis
All the parameters will be analyzed the physical improvement Cured Remarkably effective Effective and Ineffective will be recorded and the differences in different treatment courses will be investigated and compared with previous data obtained in the primary study of HKCTR-1128 by using standard statistical analysis
Expected results
The effect of Tian Jiu Therapy on Asthma is not only immediate but also long-term and will be gradually accumulated
The Tian Jiu Therapy will acquire better efficacy on asthma if this treatment was conducted more years continuously
