Detailed Description

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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that cause obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include Breathing difficulty. cough, mucus production and wheezing. Its typically caused by long term exposure to irritating gasses or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoker. in this study we compare the effect of Jacobson relaxation technique and Pranayama technique on the SOB, Cough, sputum and quality of life in COPD patients.

Data were collected from Gulab Devi Chest Hospital, General Hospital, Jinnah Hospital and Mayo Hospital Lahore. Data were collected by the lottery method. Borg dyspnea scale, Spirometry, CASA-Q and Quality of life questionnaire were used before and after the intervention. Treatment was continuous 4 weeks, 3 times in a week for 15 mint. Assessment was done through the tool before and after the treatment.

Study Groups

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

Jacobson's Technique

Participant in the group A were instructed to perform the Jacobson relaxation technique.

* Quite place were chosen where there is no disturbance.
* Patients were relax either on the lying position or sitting position with head well-supported.
* Patients were instructed to loosen any tight clothing.
* Patients were educated for muscles of each group emphasis on attention on that muscle group only.
* Repeat this three times, constrict the muscle and then relax, tens the muscle and maintain it for five seconds then relax it lightly and then tense and relax. Constrict the muscle very slightly then relax it. Focus on each muscle group and then decide to relax the target muscle.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Jacobsons Breathing Technique

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Quality of life, cough and sputum analysis, spirometry, and shortness of breath were assessed.

Pranayama Technique

Participant in group B were instructed to perform the pranayama relaxation technique.

* Quite place were chosen where there is no disturbance and patient were relaxed in sitting position with spine straight.
* In this technique patients were instructed to perform different type of pranayama techniques.
* Guide the participants to take a steady breath in through your both nostrils. Then inhale until you reach your total lung capacity, maintaining a tall spine.

Treatment was continuous 4 weeks, 3 times in a week for 15 mint. Assessment was done through the tool before and after the treatment.
