Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Jun 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of first rib mobilization and scalene muscle energy technique (MET) in improving respiratory function and reducing symptoms in patients with asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways characterized by bronchoconstriction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and mucus overproduction, often leading to respiratory difficulty and increased use of accessory muscles such as the scalene.
