Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Asthma is a serious global health problem affecting people of all ages in every country in the world. Despite the presence of effective medications, many studies have reported poor asthma control in patients. Therefore, new approaches are needed to improve asthma control. Pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended as an alternative approach in patients with chronic lung disease including asthma. Also, home-based type of pulmonary rehabilitation can be preferred because it is more cost-effective and patients can spend more time with their families. There are a limited number of studies in the literature evaluating the efficacy of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation in asthmatic patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program with simple equipment in asthmatic patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

A home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program for 8 weeks, with a minimum of 3 days per week and one session of this is under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will admit a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program for 8 weeks, with a minimum of 3 days per week and one session of this is under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The pulmonary rehabilitation program includes stretching exercises, strengthening exercises for upper and lower extremities, breathing exercises and aerobic exercises (walking). All of these exercises will be equipped with equipment that the patients can easily provide at home. In addition, patients will be provided with a pedometer and exercise diary.

Control group

A training session about the disease and the correct inhaler use, booklets that include physical activity recommendations.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Education and Recommendations

Intervention Type OTHER

The control group will be given a training session on the course of the disease and the correct inhaler use and will be given booklets on physical activity recommendations. Patients will be given a pedometer and diary.
