Fenzian Treatment System
According to Dr. Christopher Cooper, principal investigator and UCLA adjunct professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine, the Fenzian Treatment System consists of a stimulation device typically used for sports injuries and chronic pain and was found—during the course of an unrelated study—to be effective in controlling asthma symptoms too.

Neurotransmitters May Stimulate Mucus Production
One of the main effects of asthma on the airways is that they produce excess mucus. This mucus further clogs already narrowed and tightened airways, making breathing even more difficult. A brain chemical called a neurotransmitter may stimulate the lining of the airways to produce mucus.
