Abstract
RAM and co-workers, Department of Physiological Medicine, St George's Hospital Medical School, University of London, Tooting, UK, fram@sghms.ac.uk, have reviewed (30 references) breathing re-training for asthma.

Six randomized controlled trials were identified, but due to variation in trial outcomes, limited reporting of study data, and the small number of included trials it was not possible to draw any definitive
