Effects of Pranayama Breathing Technique in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

It will be randomized controlled trial. The research will be conducted at Bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur and civil hospital Bahawalpur. We take 60 patients (Epitool), Patients will be allocated randomly in two groups. Group A will get conventional medical treatment and Group B will get both conventional medical treatment and pranayama breathing exercise. Both gender of age group 30 to 55, Patient with diagnosed Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ,Moderate to severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with productive cough, Shortness of breathe and no surgical procedure performed will be included in this study. And patients of lung surgery, lung cancer, above 70 years age, with open wound, cardiovascular issues, and neurological issues will be excluded. Yoga exercise pranayama, 6 min walk test, IPAQ- quality of life and VSAQ-exercise capacity will be used as tools. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 21.

Nebulizer

Other

Active Comparator: Nebulization every 3 days with the other medicine to the active comparator.

Other

15 repeatations of Breathing in morning and evening

Primary outcomes

  1. 6 min walk test.

    Time frame: Six Weeks

    The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.

  2. IPAQ- quality of life

    Time frame: Six Weeks

    The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to evaluate the current physical activity level of the participants.

  3. VSAQ-exercise capacity

    Time frame: Six Weeks

    The VSAQ, capturing patient-reported outcome measures, is an efficient and quantifiable measure of exercise capacity that can be readily employed in clinical services particularly where patients have normal to high exercise tolerance
