Comparative Effects Of Buteyko Breathing Techniques And Papworth Method In Asthmatic Patients

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Asthma is an inflammatory condition which is characterized by coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath. The ratio of asthma is increasing day by day around the globe. According to an estimate, more than 300 million people are affected from this chronic respiratory disorder throughout the world. The asthma is diagnosis on basis of sign and symptoms as there is no gold standard of evaluating the asthma. There are basically two treatment strategies for asthma involving medical management and physiotherapy treatment. In medical treatment, steroid drugs and bronchodilators are given to asthmatic patients. Now a day, the physiotherapy treatment has gained much importance. There are numerous physiotherapy approaches available for rehabilitating asthma patients such as breathing techniques, yoga, and relaxation exercises. Buteyko technique includes three steps (control pause, shallow breathing and combination of step 1 \& 2). While, papworth method includes five steps (breathing, education, relaxation, combination of breathing and relaxation exercise and home exercises). The randomized clinical trials will be conducted for this study and data will be calculated using simple random sampling technique. The study will be carried out in Clinical Private (Farooq Clinic) setting Khushab and THQ Khushab for a period of 10 months after approval from research and ethical committee. Firstly, consent will be taken from the study participants. Screening will be done using WHO Quality of Life Scale questionnaire and asthma control test adult scores. Lung spirometry values (FVC, FEV1, \& FEV1/FVC) and oxygen saturation will be evaluated at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. Patients will be divided into two groups. Group A \& Group B. Buteyko breathing technique will be performed to Group A patients and papworth method will be performed to Group B. Chest physiotherapy will be performed to both groups as a conservative treatment at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4weeks
