Abstract :

INTRODUCTION –Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. Asthma cannot be cured, but could be controlled. The autonomic nervous system controls several aspect of airway function. Any abnormality in autonomic regulation of the airways, therefore, may lead to onchospasm, airway edema and excessive mucous secretion, which are the event that take place in pathogenesis of airway obstruction in onchial asthma. OBSERVATIONS: In the present study, 32 patients (64%) were tested positive for autonomic dysfunction out of 50 cases. maximum number of cases i.e. 24(48%) out of 50 had parasympathetic autonomic dysfunction, and 4 cases (8%) had isolated sympathetic dysfunction while 8 cases (16%) were observed with both parasympathetic and sympathetic dysfunction. CONCLUSION: prevalence of parasympathetic dysfunction is more common than both sympathetic and parasympathetic involvement and isolated Sympathetic dysfunction.
