Treatment and study plan

Scalene Hold Relax Technique

Other

Scalene Hold Relax Technique Scalene Hold for 10 Second 10 Repetition. Hold your arms behind your back to keep them from rising then slowly tilt your head trying to touch your ear to your shoulder. Bend your neck only as far as it is comfortable, and hold for 5 to 10 seconds. Relax your neck and repeat 2-3 times on each side. The treatment will be provided for 1-4 weeks as per need

Conventional physical therapy

Other

Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise Inhale through nose about 4 Seconds, hold Breath for 2 Seconds, repeat 5 times, exercise repeated for 2-3 days per week followed up to 4 weeks.

+ Buteyko Breathing Exercise Exhale slowly and then hold that breath. Use index figure and thumb to plug nose hold that breath until there is an urge to breathe and then inhale Breathe normally at least 10 second repeat several. Frequency 2-3 days per week with Moderate Intensity follow-up to 4weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Asthma Control Questionnaire

    Time frame: 4 week

    A simple questionnaire Objective to measure the adequacy of asthma control and change in asthma control which occur either spontaneously or as a result of treatment ACQ has multidimensional construct assessing symptoms (5 items -self-administering and rescue in bronchodilator use (1 item-self-administered and FEV1%(1 item completed by clinic staff Test Retest reproducibility Reported with high intraclass correlation coefficient =0.90 Internal Consistency yes 7 point scale (0=no impairment =6 maximum impairment for symptoms and rescue use and 7categories for FEV1%) Minimally imp difference Change in score 0.5 7 items (score Range 0 (Totally controlled and 6 Severely Uncontrolled)

  2. Asthma Control Test

    Time frame: 4 week

    A patient self-administered tool for identifying those with poorly controlled asthma assess the frequency of shortness of breath and general asthma The Score Range from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 complete control of asthma) with higher scores reflecting greater asthma control. 5 items with 4-week recall on symptoms and daily functioning 5-point scale for symptom and activities 1=not controlled at all 5= completely controlled

  3. Lara Asthma Symptoms Scale

    Time frame: 4 week

    The Lara Asthma Symptom Scale (LASS) is a validated tool designed to assess asthma symptoms in adults. It comprises eight questions that evaluate the frequency of various asthma-related symptoms over the past four weeks. Each question is scored on a 5-point Likert scale, where higher scores indicate more frequent symptoms. To interpret the LASS, sum the scores from all eight questions to obtain a total score ranging from 0 to 32. Higher total scores indicate more frequent and severe asthma symptoms, suggesting poorer asthma control.

  4. FEV1

    Time frame: 4 week

    Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second, is a measurement of how much air a person can forcefully exhale from their lungs in one second.

  5. FVC

    Time frame: 4 week

    Forced Vital Capacity, is a measurement of lung function assessed during spirometry. t represents the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a full inhalation.

  6. PEF

    Time frame: 4 week

    Peak Expiratory Flow) spirometer, often a simple peak flow meter, is a device used to measure the speed of air exhaled from the lungs.
