Abstract/Notes

Narrative: To date the RCTs reporting the response to Chiropractic care by patients with asthma, COPD and related pulmonary disorders have omitted real-world factors which in turn produces biased results. Based on my own considerable experience with such patients I recommend that RCTs now (i) record the detail of any injury about the time of asthma onset, (ii) allow for a reasonable period of continuing care and measurements, 
for example for more than one year, to enable investigators to better account for the influence of seasonal changes such as pollen count, temperature and humidity, among other factors, and (iii) recognise the complex neurology associated with such conditions and take a more holistic, full-spine approach instead of just a short period of care with an unacceptably low number of care visits.
