Comparison of Effects of Alternate Nostril Breathing Exercise With Incentive Spirometer Technique on Lung Functions Among Asthma Patients
To compare effects of Alternate Nostril Breathing exercise with incentive spirometer on lung functions (forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, and peak expiratory flow rate) in Asthma patients.
Inclusion: Diagnosed male \& female asthma patients of age 18-60 years; Patients with mild to moderate asthma having predicted FEV1 between 60-80%; Stable asthma condition without recent exacerbations; Able to perform spirometry and follow instructions for the interventions; No recent respiratory infections.
Exclusion: Patients using medications like oral steroids, beta blockers; Patients having respiratory infections, recent exacerbations or other comorbidities; Patients with severe asthma (FEV1 \< 60% predicted); Inability to perform breathing exercises or spirometry; Pregnant women due to potential risks with breathing exercises.
