Postural Drainage With and Without Aerobic Training on Chronic Suppurative Lung Disease

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Lung Disease Chronic
Interventions
Other: Postural Drainage
Other: Postural Drainge and aerobic training
Registration Number
NCT05771766
Lead Sponsor
Riphah International University
Brief Summary

This will be a randomized controlled trial Patients will be divided into two groups randomly. Both groups will receive postural drainage as baseline treatment thrice a week for two weeks. The intervention group will undergo additional Aerobic Training thrice a week for two weeks as well along with postural drainage. Aerobic training will include a 5-step stair-climbing and a 10-step walk during each session. Data will be collected before and at the end of two weeks. Respiratory Rate, Pulse Oximeter, 10-meter Endurance walk test, and Pediatric Cough Questionnaire will be used to collect data pre and post-treatment. Data will be analyzed by use of SPSS Version 2010. Data will be presented in the form of mean and standard deviation.

Detailed Description

Chronic suppurative lung disease (csld) is a clinical syndrome in children with respiratory symptoms and signs. Children who have bronchiectasis symptoms but non-diagnostic scans are described as having chronic suppurative lung disease (csld). Postural drainage improves secretion clearance techniques, it is equally as effective as other airway clearance techniques. This study will focus on the implementation of postural drainage and aerobic training in this disease to find their effect on respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and endurance.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Oxygen Saturation2 Weeks

Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin in the blood.

Respiratory Rate2 weeks

The respiratory rate is the rate at which breathing occurs; it is set and controlled by the respiratory center of the brain.

10 Meter Walk Test2 Weeks

The individual is instructed to walk a set distance (6 meters, 10 meters, etc). Time is measured while the individual walks the set distance (often the individual is given space to accelerate to his/her preferred walking speed

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
5-item Pediatric Cough Questionnair2 Weeks

Used to measure frequency of child's cough with aa 6-point Likert-scale. Questionnair have 5 Questions to be answered by parent.
