详细描述
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection leads to significant respiratory symptoms that have negative impact on function and quality of life (QoL). Breathing exercises are effective and important in patients with COVID-19.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Buteyko breathing versus Bhastrika Pranayama on different outcome measures in COVID-19 Patients.
Sixty patients of both genders with age range from 40-50 years old were recruited from El Khankah Centeral Hospital with positive nasopharyngeal swab samples and presence of ground-glass opacification in their chest computed tomography scan (CT-scan). Patients were assigned randomly into two groups A & B and took their medications. Group A received traditional physical therapy program (mobility exercises and Postural drainage) with Bhastrika Pranayama breathing exercise. Group B received traditional physical therapy program with Buteyko breathing exercise. Patients were assessed by Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale (MBS), blood samples (levels of CRP and d-dimer), six-minute walk test (6MWT), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Questionnaire.

结局指标
主要结局
The Six-minute walk test:
时间窗: week
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) will be done pre \& post exercise program.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
时间窗: week
The PSQI questionnaire was used to measure sleep quality using an 18-item scale containing seven items that included sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping medications, and daytime dysfunction. Each dimension scored between 0-3, with a total score ranging from 0-21, and a higher score indicating lower sleep quality
The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Questionnaire
时间窗: week
The SF-36 is a 36-item scale, which measures eight domains of health status: physical functioning (10 items); physical role limitations (four items); bodily pain (two items); general health perceptions (five items); energy/vitality (four items); social functioning (two items); emotional role limitations (three items) and mental health (five items) the scores are weighted sums of the questions in each section. Scores range from 0 - 100 Lower scores = more disability, higher scores = less disability
Modified Borg Scale to Measure dyspnea:
时间窗: week
is a 0 to 10 rated numerical score used to measure dyspnea as reported by the patient with higher score indicates breathing problem.
Blood Samples:
时间窗: week
The blood samples will be collected before starting and at the end of the study to measure levels of CRP, d-dimer and CBC to test.
