Can moxibustion reduce asthma flare-ups?
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese medicine technique called lung-benefiting moxibustion (a type of heat therapy) to see if it can reduce asthma flare-ups in people whose asthma is not well controlled. It is for adults with asthma who are currently in remission but still have poor control.
