This study compares three non-pharmacological approaches to the chronic hyperventilation syndrome (CHS). Eighteen subjects were evaluated at the start of the study then one and 6 months after having received in a random fashion one of the following treatments: group I (teaching approach of one hour on the respiratory physiology of the CHS and on breathing techniques; n = 5); group II (same approach as in group I with breathing retraining of 8 sessions; n = 8); group III (same as group II with the addition of a modified Jacobson's progressive relaxation; n = 5). Whereas all three groups had a similar symptomatic score at the beginning of the study (although subjects of group III had in general higher scores and were symptomatic for a longer period), our results show that all subjects improved after 4 weeks, those in group II showing the greatest improvement (p < 0.05). This confirms the relevance of applied and repeated pedagogy in approaching subjects with the CHS.
本研究比较了三种针对慢性通气过度综合征（CHS）的非药物治疗方法。18名受试者在研究开始时接受评估，然后在随机接受以下其中一种治疗后的1个月和6个月再次接受评估：第一组（关于CHS呼吸生理学和呼吸技巧的一小时教学方法；n = 5）；第二组（与第一组方法相同，但进行8次呼吸训练；n = 8）；第三组（与第二组相同，但增加改良的雅各布森渐进性放松训练；n = 5）。尽管在研究开始时所有三组的症状评分相似（尽管第三组受试者的评分总体较高且症状持续时间更长），但我们的结果显示，所有受试者在4周后均有改善，其中第二组改善最为明显（p < 0.05）。这证实了应用和重复教学法在治疗CHS患者中的相关性。
