简要总结
This study will be a randomized control trial. A total of 68 patients will be recruited and randomly assign to the experimental group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. Participants in the experimental group will receive a 8-week Ba-duan jin exercise training intervention along with Forced Expiratory Technique at least 3 days a week and 30 minutes a day, while participants in the control group will be only given Forced Expiratory intervention and will be told to maintain their original lifestyle for 8 weeks along with standard COPD treatment.
详细描述
This study will be a randomized control trial. A total of 68 patients will be recruited and randomly assign to the experimental group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. Participants must have a documented diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) based on established clinical criteria (such as GOLD guidelines). Participants should be between 40 and 55 years old. Participants should be in a stable condition, free from exacerbations or respiratory infections for at least four weeks prior to the study enrollment. Participants in the experimental group will receive a 8-week Ba-duan jin exercise training intervention along with Forced Expiratory Technique at least 3 days a week and 30 minutes a day, while participants in the control group will be only given Forced Expiratory intervention and will be told to maintain their original lifestyle for 8 weeks along with standard COPD treatment. All participants will continue with their prescribed medication. During this study time participants will be given instructions on how to perform the prescribed pulmonary exercises. After each exercise session the FEV1 and exercise capacity of the patients will be checked.

36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)
时间窗: 8 Weeks
The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) is an outcome measure instrument that is often used, well-researched, self-reported measure of health. It stems from a study called the Medical Outcomes Study for the objective measure of the quality of life. It comprises 36 questions that cover eight domains of health: 1. Limitations in physical activities because of health problems. 2. Limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems 3. Limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems 4. Bodily pain 5. General mental health (psychological distress and well-being) 6. Limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems 7. Vitality (energy and fatigue) 8. General health perceptions Scores for the different domains are converted and pooled using a scoring key, for a total score indicating a range of low to high QOL
Forced expiratory volume (FEV1)
时间窗: 8 Weeks
Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) calculates the amount of air that a person can force out of their lungs in 1 second. It's measured by spirometry , which is a common breathing test to check lung function.
Exercise Tolerance : 6 minute walk test
时间窗: 8 Weeks
a patient can quickly walk back and forth in a 30-m (100-foot) corridor in a period of 6 min, referred to as the 6-min walk distance (6MWD).
Forced vital capacity (FVC)
时间窗: 8 Weeks
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from your lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It's measured by spirometry , which is a common breathing test to check lung function.
FEV1/FVC ratio
时间窗: 8 Weeks
The FEV1/FVC ratio is the ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity of the lungs. The normal value for this ratio is above 0.75-85, though this is age dependent.
