Asthma is the result of inflammation of the airways that subsequently leads to bronchoconstriction and airway hyper-responsiveness.

Previous research dealing with asthma and acupuncture has indicated that acupuncture down-regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory proteins and up-regulates the [...]

Although the assessment and management of acute pain in animals has advanced considerably, chronic pain is still underestimated and, therefore, under treated, because the diagnosis is complex and treatment is limited (1).
