Abstract
In the period from March to June 2007, a trial was carried out in 14 asthmatics in order to observe the therapeutic effects on dyspneic symptoms produced by embedding subcutaneously soluble catgut threads. All patients, eight men and six women, aged 35 - 76 years, who had had 3-8 years of asthmatic symptoms, had received treatment with oral bronchodilators and meter-dose inhalers regularly. The treatment technique used soluble chromic catgut No. 0 embedded subcutaneously into an area between the midline of the back and inner border of both scapulae at the level of the T2 and T3 vertebrae twice one month apart. Based on the Classification Asthma Score, pre and post-treatment asthmatic scores were compared. It revealed that the treatment had satisfactorily reduced the asthmatic symptoms in all patients, having improved asthmatic scores in 12 of the 14 patients. The OPD visits and hospitalization were reduced. This therapeutic technique is recommended for an alternative treatment for asthmatic patients.
