Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: pulmicort inhaler

Group (A) consists of 30 patients. They will receive their inhaled glucocorticoids (pulmicort inhaler) on needs.

Drug: pulmicort inhaler
Each woman in both groups (A&B) will receive pulmicort inhaler on needs.

Experimental: incentive spirometer

Group (B) consists of 30 patients. They will receive the same medical treatment and incentive spirometer program 3 days per week for six weeks.

Drug: pulmicort inhaler
Each woman in both groups (A&B) will receive pulmicort inhaler on needs.

Device: Incentive spirometer treatment
Each patient in group B will be instructed about the effects of incentive spirometer to gain their cooperation during the study course.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Assessing the change in lung functions [at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention]

    The spirometer will be used for assessment of lung functions including total lung capacity (TLC) (litre), which is the most widely used functional index in the asthma follow up.

  2. Assessing the change in symptoms of asthma [at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention]

    The Asthma Control Test provides a numerical score to help you and your healthcare provider determine if your asthma symptoms are well controlled. Take this test if you are 12 years or older. Share the score with your healthcare provider.
