Combined Effects of Breathing Teach Back Training And Percussion In Patients With Pneumonia

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pneumonia

• Registration Number: NCT06732739
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

Pneumonia, marked by lung inflammation, leads to symptoms like fever and difficulty breathing, affecting millions globally. It particularly impacts children and the elderly. Lung function is altered, reducing capacities and obstructing airflow. Post-recovery, patients may experience dyspnea due to lingering fluids-deep breathing exercises, using teach-back training, aid rehabilitation. Combining teach-back with chest percussion in physiotherapy aims to enhance respiratory outcomes in pneumonia patients. This will be a randomized clinical trial sample size calculated by epitool sample size calculator which is 30 patients 15 in each group. Regular chest percussion involves a clapping technique in five drainage positions, with assisted suction. Teach-back breathing exercises will also be implemented in this group In Group A, individuals will perform teach-back breathing exercises with chest percussion. In Group B, a similar protocol will be followed without the teach-back breathing exercises. Data analysis, using SPSS version 21, will include the Shapiro-Wilk Test for normality assessment. Descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, independent sample t-tests, and Mann-Whitney U tests will be employed to analyze group measurements, changes over time, and differences between groups. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a thorough understanding of the study variables and measurements.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pulmonary functions test	baseline and fourth week	A pulmonary function test (PFT) is a diagnostic assessment that evaluates the functional capacity of the respiratory system, providing valuable information about lung volumes, capacities, and the efficiency of gas exchange. These tests are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , and restrictive lung diseases, Pulmonary function test Normal values are FEV1 80% to 120%, FVC 80% to 120%. Absolute FEV1 /FVC ratio, Within 5% of the predicted ratio, TLC 80% to 120%
SF 36	baseline and fourth week	The SF-36, or Short Form 36, is a widely used questionnaire designed to assess an individual's health-related quality of life. It encompasses 36 questions across eight health domains, providing insights into various aspects of physical and mental well-being. The questionnaire covers areas such as physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, bodily pain, general health perceptions, vitality, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health.
