Methacholine Challenge Test

The Methacholine Challenge Test is a bronchoprovocation procedure, within the broader category of pulmonary function diagnostic methods, that specifically measures airway hyperresponsiveness by quantifying the degree of bronchoconstriction induced by inhaled methacholine, thereby distinguishing it from other challenge tests through its pharmacological agent and standardized protocol for diagnosing asthma.
