Article Synopsis
- Severe asthma (SA) is challenging to manage, significantly impacting patients' lives and straining healthcare resources.
- Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a promising non-drug treatment that has shown effectiveness in improving quality of life and reducing asthma attacks for over ten years.
- Despite its benefits, BT faces challenges in clinical use due to variability in patient responses and limited understanding of markers that can predict who will benefit from the treatment.
