About this study

Official title: Effect of Senobi Breathing Exercise Versus Buteyko Breathing Technique on the Functional Performance Among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patient.

Effect of Senobi breathing exercise versus Buteyko breathing technique on functional performance among chronic obstructive pulmonary patient.

Read the detailed description

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that cause obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include Breathing difficulty. cough, mucus production and wheezing. Its typically caused by long term exposure to irritating gasses or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoker.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are two most common condition that contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is progressive disease that gets over a time. Clinical trials will be Conducted in Gulab Devi chest hospital in Lahore. Through the convenient sampling Technique. Which will be allocated through the random sampling two groups are involved group A and group B. In group A check the effect of Senobi techniques (stretch the body) and in group B check the effect of Buteyko technique. (Inhale the through the nose while mouth is closed) by using 6 mint walk test, Borg scale and quality of life questionnaire. Apply the technique to check the effectiveness of dyspnea and quality of life of patient The Buteyko technique offers a complementary method of reliving respiratory symptoms based on the voluntary control of breathing as well as considering the effect of environmental and dietary trigger. Data will be collected by the questionnaire and analyzed by using statistical package for the social science SPSS software version 21. The Buteyko method made its way to Australia to Europe and the unite states in 1990, it become best for the asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient. The Senobi stretch exercise of the respiratory muscle improve the chest expansion and also improve the chest wall mobility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient. Senobi breathing exercise was found to be effective for depression and it regulate the sympathetic nerve activity.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Buteyko techniqueExperimentalGROUP A'(Buteyko technique) Participant in group A will be instructed to perform the Buteyko breathing exercise. Patient either on the sitting position or standing position. Patient will be relaxed the shoulder and rest lower back against the back of chair. Close the mouth while only breathing through nose. Breath into the diaphragm and chest should be still. Exhale slowly, then hold the breath. Use the index finger and thumb to plug the nose, Hold the breath until there is urge to breath Then inhale Repeat several times. With in 15 minutes.
Receives: Combination Product: pursed lip breathing
Senobi techniqueActive comparatorGROUP B (Senobi techniques) Senobi breathing exercise will be performed from standing, Arms will be extended firmly, The neck was extended so as face the ceiling. And the patient instructed to avoid over exertion Take a deep breath, hold for 3 second and then exhale through mouth. The time of exercise will be 15 minutes.
Receives: Combination Product: pursed lip breathing

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CASA Q (cough and sputum )

    The cough and sputum assessment questionnaire (CASA-Q) was used to measure the severity and impact of cough and sputum in patients with COPD and chronic bronchitis. CASA-Q scores of each domain demonstrated significant association with HRQoL impairment CASA-Q was strongly lower when chronic bronchitis was present, but multivariate analyses demonstrated that the association of HRQoL impairment was greater with the cough impact domain score than with the usual definition of chronic bronchitis. The CASA-Q targets cough and sputum by an original approach assessing both the symptoms and impacts in dailyactivities within the last 7 days. Each item is answered ranging from never to always or from not at all to a lot / extremely as applicable each type is answered using five categories.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Dyspnea rating scale.

    This scale is used for the measurement of the dyspnea ( shortness of breath ).This scale is questionnaire that consist of 5 breathlessness grade ,and the number 5 have maximum dyspnea

    Measured: 4 weeks
