It is well known that the bronchi of asthmatic patients are very sensitive to many factors. Emotional stress is especially well established as an important trigger factor of asthmatic attacks. There are many clinical studies concerning the psychological factor in asthmatic patients, but there have been very few papers which report that psychological stress alters the bronchial sensitivity in asthmatic patients. We used SMR (self monitoring relaxation) methods to asthmatic children and observed improvement of bronchial response to acethylcholin. From these data, we conclude that the psychological problem is very important to asthmatic children, but sometimes psychologists used technical terms which are not understandable to medical doctors. In the near future, it is hoped that many easy explanations will be used in the clinical field and physicians must always talk about emotional factors to each patient.
