Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Bubble Positive Expiratory Pressure Device
Diaphragmatic breathing technique will be the baseline treatment. B group will be treated with bubble positive expiratory pressure device. Patients will be encouraged to blow down the tubing into the water, and make bubbles. This creates positive pressure back up the tubing and into patient's airways and lungs. As the pressure holds open your patient's airways, it helps more air to move in and out of their lungs. All study participant will receive a total of 18 treatment sessions over a six-week period, which consisted of 03 treatment sessions per week.
Bubble Positive Expiratory Pressure Device
This study will be Randomized Clinical trial, Subject diagnosed with asthma meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be divided into two groups. The baseline treatment for both groups would be diaphragmatic breathing exercises. While group B will be treated with bubble-PEP. Each subject will receive 18 sessions with 3 treatments per week. Post treatment values will be recorded after the session and recorded values will be analyzed using SPSS 25.
Active Cycle Breathing Technique
Diaphragmatic breathing technique will be the baseline treatment.A group will be treated with active cycle breathing technique. The technique consists of inspiratory hold technique, deep breathing and forced expiration. These are repeated in a cycle until your chest feels clear. You can carry out ACBT when either sitting or lying down.
Physiotherapist will discuss this with you during your physiotherapy assessment. All study participant will receive a total of 18 treatment sessions over a six-week period, which consisted of 03 treatment sessions per week.
Active Cycle Breathing Technique
This study will be Randomized Clinical trial, Subject diagnosed with asthma meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be divided into two groups. The baseline treatment for both groups would be diaphragmatic breathing exercises. While group A will be treated with ACBT. Each subject will receive 18 sessions with 3 treatments per week. Post treatment values will be recorded after the session and recorded values will be analyzed using SPSS 25.
