Methods 118 patients with bronchial asthma were selected and randomlydivided into two groups, with 59 cases in each group. "The conventional group were only treated withconventional Westem medicine, while the combined group were treated with traditional Chinese medicineacupoint cryotherapy on the basis of the control group. After treatment , the patients were followed up for 9months to compare the changes in Fractional exhaled nitric oxide ( FeNO ) levels, asthma control test( AC'T') scores , as well as the pulmonary function recovery and occurrence of adverse events between thetwo groups. Results After treatment , the FeNO levels in the combined group were lower than those in the conventional group after 1 , 2, and 3 months of treatment, the ACT seores were higher than those of theconventional group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). By the end of follow-up, theforced expiratory volume in one seeond ( FEV1 ), forced vital capacity ( FVC), and maximum ventilationvolume per minute ( MVV) of the combined group were higher than those of the conventional group, andthe incidence of adverse events was lower than that of the conventional group ( P<0.05 ).
