Hypnotherapy increasing standard therapy responses in psychogenic asthma patient

Asthma has negative effects in patient’s Quality of Life. Usually, asthma treatment is only depending on pharmacotherapy, but it is not easy to achieve controlled asthma stage. This study aims to evaluate the effectivity of hypnotherapy to increasing asthma control level with asthma standard therapy in both of uncontrolled or partial controlled psychogenic asthma patient. We observe 60 psychogenic asthma that divided into group A and group B. First, we evaluate asthma control levels for both of groups, then for group A, we give standard therapy and six sessions of hypnotherapy (for 6 weeks) continuing with reevaluation of asthma control level. Moreover, after 6 weeks we reevaluate asthma control level again. For group B, 6 weeks after the first evaluation, we reevaluate asthma control levels and continue to give standard therapy and six sessions of hypnotherapy (for 6 weeks) then evaluate asthma control level again. To evaluate variation of asthma control level variables, we use Friedman statistic test, then continue to Marginal Homogeneity statistic test. We found the higher asthma control level for both of groups after hypnotherapy that statistically significance. Group A (A1 vs A2; p= 0,001) and group B (B2 vs B3; p= 0,004). We found that age (p = 0,006), smoking history (p = 0,02), BMI (p = 0,026), allergen triggers (p = 0,027) is statistically significance influence asthma control level in this study where all of them have p value < 0,05. Hypnotherapy statistically significance to increasing asthma standard therapy response in psychogenic asthma patient.
