Abstract
Abstract: Asthma is a common clinical disorder and is characterized by reversible obstruction of the bronchial airways leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. Aim of present study was to compare the effect of autonomic nervous system status in normal individual and asthmatic Patients. Selected patients were divided randomly in two groups each comprised of 25 patients. Group A served as a control group. Group B served as a asthmatic group. In response to autonomic nervous system both sympathetic and parasympathetic test can be done. The result of our study showed that cold pressure test shown significant result while S/L ratio and LST (30:15) ratio shown insignificant result. Thus this study indicates that the autonomic defects seen in asthmatics could be secondary to asthma and not because of autonomic aberrations inheritance in asthmatics.
