Based on his own experience and on the data in the literature the author considers that rehabilitation of adults with chronic bronchial asthma is possible at any stage of disease if there are no complications or morbid associations to prevent it. Rehabilitation of chronic asthmatic patients requires the close collaboration of several specialists such as allergologists, chest physicians, psychologists, physical therapists, balneologists, etc. Rehabilitation in asthmatic patients may only be considered successful if they resume full-time work (in case they had been in receipt of compensation), if the medical leaves are fewer and shorter and if the drug therapy is reduced or null. The author considers that since bronchial asthma in the whole population of Romania has an incidence of 2.3-2.9% rehabilitation, though costly and sometimes "desperate", is still worth while trying for its medical, economical and psychological implications.
基于自身经验和文献数据，作者认为，只要没有并发症或相关疾病妨碍，成年慢性支气管哮喘患者在疾病的任何阶段都可以进行康复治疗。慢性哮喘患者的康复需要过敏症专科医生、胸科医生、心理学家、物理治疗师、温泉治疗师等多位专家的密切合作。只有当哮喘患者恢复全职工作（如果他们此前领取补偿金）、病假次数减少且时间缩短、药物治疗减少或停用，才能认为康复治疗是成功的。作者认为，鉴于罗马尼亚全体人口中支气管哮喘的发病率为2.3%-2.9%，尽管康复治疗成本高昂，有时还“令人绝望”，但考虑到其医学、经济和心理方面的影响，仍值得一试。
