Twenty children with severe asthma using continual oral beta 2 agonists were randomized equally into either a behavioral intervention group or a control group. The behavioral intervention consisted of: symptom discrimination of asthma signals, self-management techniques of breathlessness, and contingency management of asthma-related behavior. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of the behavioral treatment when superimposed on a regular medical treatment. The design consisted of a four-week baseline period, a four-week intervention period, and a four-week follow-up period. Results showed that the group receiving the behavioral intervention significantly reduced their use of beta 2 agonist spray doses and days of school absenteeism without increasing the number of asthma symptoms compared with the control group. It was concluded that children with severe asthma may benefit substantially from a behavioral program in addition to their regular medical treatment.
