Results of this review of the behavioral literature on asthma therapy indicate that systematic desensitization, operant interventions, and biofeedback treatments have been successful in altering pulmonary functioning, asthma symptomatology, and/or asthma-related behaviors, whereas some evidence for the limited effectiveness of relaxation training has been demonstrated. The clinical usefulness of these techniques remains open to interpretation. It cannot be said, however, that the results reported represent the definitive statement regarding the usefulness of these interventions, due to the lack of methodological sophistication evident in this body of research. Behavioral investigators currently interested in this area have the opportunity to design and implement research strategies which attend to sound methodological considerations and which may present a clearer demonstration of the efficacy of the adjunctive behavioral treatments which have been used with asthma patients for the past several decades.
