简要总结
Effect of intercostal stretch on breathing pattern, pulmonary functions and urge to smoke
among male smokers.
This study investigates the effect of intercostal stretch on breathing pattern, pulmonary
functions and urge to smoke among male smokers.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of intercostal stretch on breathing
pattern using Hi-Lo mechanism. To evaluate the effect of intercostal stretch on pulmonary
functions among male smokers using spirometer (RMS Helios401, India). To evaluate the
effect of intercostal stretch on urge to smoke among male smokers using brief
questionnaire of smoking urges (BQSU).
Experimental study in which patient will undergo three sessions of intercostal stretch per
week for two weeks. Breathing pattern, pulmonary functions (FVC and FEV1), and urge to
smoke will be measured before and after intervention that is after two weeks.
The findings of this study could provide a simple and inexpensive method to improve
pulmonary functions, to improve breathing pattern and can also help to reduce urge to
smoke among male smokers.
