5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Administration of a combined program for general (Mindfulness) and respiratory (Buteyko technique) relationship in patients with poorly controlled asthma and anxiety/stress to determine if it provides an improvement in current control and future risk of asthma.
Detailed Description
A Mindfulness relaxation program and a Buteyko technique respiratory rehabilitation program will be administered individually and weekly, in 10 sessions (5 face-to-face and 5 telematic sessions afterwards). Patients will be visited 4 times (at inclusion, one month, 6 months and 12 months after the double intervention), where data on asthmatic morbidity, pulmonary function (spirometry), bronchial inflammation (FENO) will be collected and some questionnaires will be administered.
