Bronchial Thermoplasty
Bronchial thermoplasty involves the use of heat to prevent your air passages from tightening. Compared to other options, this is not a widely available method. However, it can be a good treatment for severe cases that do not improve with medications. In most cases, you need 3 outpatient visits to the hospital for bronchial therapy. When the heat comes inside the airways, it will lower the number of smooth muscles that would contract and restrict air intake. The results tend to last for 1 year. This means that you have to seek another session in the next year. [6]
