Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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.
- 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.
