Brief Summary
The aim of this project is to study the effect of an intragastric balloon (IGB) on asthma control in obese patients. Obese patients with uncontrolled asthma will be recruited and randomly assigned to two intervention arms : an intragastric balloon combined with diet and exercise versus diet and exercise alone (control group). The primary endpoint will be the proportion of patients with an improvement based on an Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) score ≥ 0.5 at 1 year compared to baseline.
