Study Overview
Brief Summary
Comparison of Jacobson Relaxation Technique and Pranayama Technique in patients with COPD
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. in this study we compare the effect of Jacobson relaxation technique and Pranayama technique on the SOB, Cough, sputum and quality of life in COPD patients.
Data were collected from Gulab Devi Chest Hospital, General Hospital, Jinnah Hospital and Mayo Hospital Lahore. Data were collected by the lottery method. Borg dyspnea scale, Spirometry, CASA-Q and Quality of life questionnaire were used before and after the intervention. Treatment was continuous 4 weeks, 3 times in a week for 15 mint. Assessment was done through the tool before and after the treatment.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Dyspnea Severity (Borg Scale)
Time Frame: 4 weeks
The Borg scale measures the severity of dyspnea (shortness of breath). Scale Details: Full Title: Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) ScaleFull Title: Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale Minimum Value: 0 (No breathlessness at all) Maximum Value: 10 (Maximal breathlessness) Interpretation: Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, meaning greater severity of dyspnea.
Cough and Sputum Analysis (CASA-Q)
Time Frame: 4 Weeks
The CASA-Q (Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire) evaluates the severity and impact of cough and sputum production. Scale Details: Full Title: Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire (CASA-Q) Minimum Value: 0 (No symptoms) Maximum Value: 100 (Severe symptoms) Interpretation: Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, meaning more severe symptoms of cough and sputum.
Spirometry (FEV1 and FVC)
Time Frame: 4 Weeks
Spirometry will be used to measure lung function, specifically Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). Scale Details: Full Title: Spirometry (FEV1 and FVC) Minimum Value: Variable (dependent on patient's lung function) Maximum Value: Variable (dependent on patient's lung function) Interpretation: Higher values typically indicate better lung function.
Secondary Outcomes
- Quality of Life (SF-36 Questionnaire)(4 Weeks)
- Patient Satisfaction (Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire)(4 Weeks)
