Study Purpose: To develop a pulmonary rehabilitation intervention program suitable for school-age children with asthma, and to evaluate its effectiveness in improving asthma control in children through a prospective randomized controlled trial. Study Methods: This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled trial. Eligible subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, together with their families, will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group (family-empowered pulmonary rehabilitation intervention) or the control group (conventional pulmonary rehabilitation care) after signing the informed consent form. Both groups will receive a 12-week core intervention period, with follow-up assessments conducted at baseline, end of intervention (12 weeks), and at 24 and 48 weeks after intervention.
