Brief Summary

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

The group A will receive percussions and diaphragmatic breathing with 1 session a day for 3 days in a week for 4 weeks. In this way total 12 sessions will be given to the patients. And group B will receive only diaphragmatic breathing with 1 session a day for total 3 days in a week for 4 weeks. By this intervention procedure, I will find out the effects of these techniques on airway clearance of the pneumonia patients, their effect on the quality of life and on Dyspnea. For this I will use 4 tool questionnaires that are 1-BCSS, 2- Modified Borg Dyspnea scale, 3-Rate of perceived exertion scale, 4- Health-related Quality of Life-14. BCSS will be used to assess breathlessness, cough and sputum retention. Modified Borg Dyspnea scale is 0-10 rated numerical scale used to measure Dyspnea. RPE is a way to measure the level of exertion a person feels during physical activity. HRQOL-14 will assess the quality of life of the pneumonia patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It will be a randomized clinical trial. And the data will be conducted from Mayo Hospital Lahore. Convenient sampling technique will be applied on patients according to the inclusion criteria. Patients will be allocated through simple random sampling into group A and group B to collect data. For this purpose, I will divide my sample size into two groups. The group A will receive percussions and diaphragmatic breathing with 1 session a day for 3 days in a week for 4 weeks. In this way total 12 sessions will be given to the patients. And group B will receive only diaphragmatic breathing with 1 session a day for total 3 days in a week for 4 weeks. By this intervention procedure, I will find out the effects of these techniques on airway clearance of the pneumonia patients, their effect on the quality of life and on Dyspnea. For this I will use 4 tool questionnaires that are 1-BCSS, 2- Modified Borg Dyspnea scale, 3-Rate of perceived exertion scale, 4- Health-related Quality of Life-14. BCSS will be used to assess breathlessness, cough and sputum retention. Modified Borg Dyspnea scale is 0-10 rated numerical scale used to measure Dyspnea. RPE is a way to measure the level of exertion a person feels during physical activity. HRQOL-14 will assess the quality of life of the pneumonia patients. Before and after each session, the primary and secondary outcomes will be measured for both groups. After collecting the data, the data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 25.
