This review discusses the relationship between the psychological and physiological factors responsible for airways in asthma and indicates the mechanisms by which psychological methods of treatment may influence airway caliber. The effects of mental and muscular relaxation therapy, systematic desensitization, and biofeedback-assisted relaxation are evaluated in children and adults with asthma. The methodology and results of studies are analyzed critically to present a balanced opinion of the subjective and objective effects of these methods of treatment. Muscular relaxation therapy alone appears to have no effect. Certain mental relaxation techniques, such as autogenic training and transcendental mediation, systematic desensitization, and biofeedback-assisted relaxation, can produce subjective improvement as well as clinically significant improvement in respiratory function and other objective parameters. As with any therapy the response is variable and is influenced by factors such as age and severity of asthma.
本综述讨论了导致哮喘气道问题的心理和生理因素之间的关系，并指出心理治疗方法可能影响气道管径的机制。对患有哮喘的儿童和成人评估了精神和肌肉放松疗法、系统脱敏疗法以及生物反馈辅助放松疗法的效果。对研究的方法和结果进行了批判性分析，以对这些治疗方法的主观和客观效果给出一个平衡的观点。单独的肌肉放松疗法似乎没有效果。某些精神放松技巧，如自生训练、超觉静坐、系统脱敏疗法以及生物反馈辅助放松疗法，可产生主观改善以及呼吸功能和其他客观参数方面临床上显著的改善。与任何治疗一样，反应存在个体差异，并受年龄和哮喘严重程度等因素影响。
