Asthma is characterized by a pronounced diurnal rhythm, with symptoms worsening at night. Adjusting the timing of medication to the rhythm of the disease (chronotherapy) can improve the effectiveness of treatment. British doctors investigated the effect of chronotherapy on daily fluctuations in both physiological and immunological levels over 24 hours using a commonly prescribed inhaled corticosteroid.
