bronchial provocation test

A bronchial provocation test is a medical procedure used to assess how sensitive your airways are to certain triggers, typically substances like methacholine or exercise. During the test, small, controlled amounts of a substance are inhaled, and your lung function is monitored to see if the airways tighten or narrow. This helps doctors determine if you have conditions like asthma or other airway hyperreactivity. The test is performed in a controlled environment with medical supervision, and it provides valuable information about your airway responsiveness in a safe and precise manner.
