简要总结
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is progressive and irreversible respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation leading to dyspnea and reduced functional capacity.
Pulmonary rehabilitation along with different technqiues of breathing exercises reduces dyspnea and enhance functional capacity by improving ventilatory efficiency, respiratory muscle control and overall exercise tolerance in patients with COPD.
详细描述
Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease is a progressive and irreversible respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation leading to dyspnea and reduced functional capacity.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation, a cornerstone in COPD management helps to reduce dyspnea and improve functional capacity. Although long-term PR programs yield sustained benefits, shorter-duration PR (e.g., 3-week interventions) may offer greater feasibility and higher patient adherence.
Total 40 participants will be allocated into two groups. Group A will be provided with short term Pulmonary rehabilitation along with pharmacological management and group B will be given additional Box breathing along with short term pulmonary rehabilitation The objective of this study is to determine the additional effects of Box breathing technique with short term pulmonary rehabilitation versus short term pulmonary rehabilitation alone on Dyspnea, Functional capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

研究组 & 干预措施
Short term pulmonary rehabilitation
Patients in this group will receive Short term pulmonary rehabilitation along with pharmacological management.
Two sessions per week, supervised by physiotherapist will be conducted for a total of 3 weeks.
干预措施: Short term Pulmonary Rehabilitation (Other)
Box breathing with short term pulmonary rehabilitation
Patients in this group will receive Box breathing as well as short term pulmonary rehabilitation along with pharmacological management.
Two sessions per weeek, supervised by physiotherapist will be conducted for a total of 3 weeks. In Group B, box breathing will be performed daily.
A home diary will be provided in order to ensure and follow-up that the participants are performing breathing exercise at home.

结局指标
主要结局
Dyspnea
时间窗: 03 weeks
Evaluation will be performed using the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale, a clinician-administered scale ranging from 0 to 4, where: 0 indicates breathlessness only with strenuous exercise 4 indicates severe breathlessness (too breathless to leave the house or breathless while dressing) Higher scores represent worse dyspnea severity and poorer functional status.
次要结局
- Functional Capacity(03 weeks)
