Twelve subjects with mild asthmatic episodes in the form of nocturnal precipitation were studied. A two-week schedule of placebo administration, pranayamic breathing exercises using a Pink City lung exerciser alone, and exercises using the lung exerciser with hot, humid air were performed. Five of the 12 asthmatics showed highly significant increases in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) with the lung exerciser alone, while eight of the 12 cases showed highly significant increases in PEFR with exercise using hot, humid air. The frequency of nocturnal wheezing also declined. It can be inferred that slow breathing alone and in combination with hot, humid air has a nonspecific bronchoprotective or bronchorelaxing effect.
对12名有夜间发作形式的轻度哮喘发作的受试者进行了研究。进行了为期两周的给药方案，包括单独使用粉红城肺锻炼器进行呼吸练习，以及使用肺锻炼器并结合热湿空气进行练习。12名哮喘患者中有5名在单独使用肺锻炼器时呼气峰值流速（PEFR）有非常显著的增加，而12例中有8例在使用热湿空气进行锻炼时PEFR有非常显著的增加。夜间喘息的频率也有所下降。可以推断，单独的缓慢呼吸以及与热湿空气相结合具有非特异性的支气管保护或支气管舒张作用。
