Brief Summary

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

The experiment was randomized and controlled. To create groups A and B,48 individuals were selected by sample selection criteria. Evaluation of oxygen saturation and pulmonary function tests were taken using a pulse oximeter and spirometer. Group A got chest physiotherapy with breathing exercises and ACBT whereas Group B got chest physiotherapy with breathing exercises. The treatment took 15-30 minutes and consisted of one session per day, treatment was given 6 days a week for up to 2 weeks and examined by using SPSS 22.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study came to the conclusion that both techniques, breathing exercises with and without ACBT were beneficial in raising PaO2, FEV1, FVC, and the FEV1/FVC ratio as well as oxygen saturation.

However, based on their mean differences, ACBT with breathing exercises was more beneficial in terms of the indicated end measures.
