Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective a hypertonic saline test for indirect airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is in managing inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for controlling asthma in children aged 7-15 with mild to moderate atopic asthma.
- A total of 104 patients were divided into two groups: one was monitored for symptoms only, while the other had their therapy adjusted based on AHR severity, using various assessments every three months for a year.
- Results showed that the AHR group experienced fewer mild asthma exacerbations compared to the symptom-only group, although final ICS doses were similar, indicating the hypertonic saline test may be a useful, low-cost method for monitoring asthma in pediatric patients.*

Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 109 children, all aged seven years. The parameters of body posture were determined using the Zebris Ultrasonic System.
The first attempts at using ultrasound acoustic waves to aid the penetration of drugs into the skin tissue were made in the 1950's. Despite a wide usage of phonophoresis in physical therapy cabinets, doubts persist as to the relevance and efficacy of this method. Despite its popularity, the issue of conditions underlying the efficacy of phonophoresis treatment has still not been adequately addressed.
