Asthma is a chronic disease involving an immune response, which is characterized by non-specific inflammation and airway remodeling. Glucocorticoids are clinically beneficial in controlling asthma, but further options are needed. In our study, fastigial nucleus electrostimulation (FNS) was applied i...
