Brief Summary

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

The study aims to evaluate the effects of Senobi versus Jacobsons muscular relaxation exercises on pulmonary functions, dyspnea, and sleep quality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study design will be a randomized clinical trial. The study will be completed in 10 months after the approval of the synopsis from the Ethical Committee of RCRS and AHS. A non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to recruit the individuals into two groups. Group A had undergone Senobi exercises and Group B engaged in Jacobsons Muscular relaxation exercises along with conventional treatment of COPD.

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 with 40 participants, aimed to compare the effects of Senobi and Jacobsons muscular relaxation exercises on pulmonary functions, dyspnea, and sleep quality in COPD patients. Participants were chosen through convenient sampling at Sarwet Anver Medical Complex Lahore. Participants were divided into Groups A and B. Group A had undergone Senobi exercises and Group B had engaged in Jacobsons muscular relaxation exercises. The pulmonary function was assessed by spirometer the calculated values will be FVC (Forced vital capacity) and FEV1(Forced expiratory volume in one second). The dyspnea will be assessed by a 6-minute walk test and at the end of the walk state of breathlessness will be evaluated by the Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale. The sleep quality will be assessed by the SATED sleep questionnaire The exercises were evaluated after 6 weeks of interventions. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 2.5.

Spirometry assesses the amount and speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Key measurements include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). The maximum volume of air forcefully exhaled after a full inhalation. Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1): The volume of air exhaled in the first second of the FVC test, indicates how quickly the lungs can be emptied.

The modified Borg dyspnea score is a variation of the CR10 scale, with a range from 0 to 10, where 0 signifies the absence of breathlessness and 10 indicates the highest level of breathlessness. Participants assess their dyspnea after the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) test, capturing the peak intensity of breathlessness experienced throughout the entire walking test. This scoring system provides a subjective measure of the individual's maximal perceived dyspnea during physical activity.

The SATED scale includes specific quantitative criteria for four of the five sleep-related dimensions that have been reliably linked to health outcomes. It evaluates five important aspects of sleep. These include the following dimensions: sleep satisfaction, sleep efficiency, sleep duration, timing of sleep, and alertness during waking hours.

Study Groups

Senobi exercises

* Group A had undergone Senobi exercises training, scheduled three times weekly over 8 weeks, for individuals with COPD the duration and time interval time for Senobi exercises can vary depending on their overall health, fitness level, and tolerance.
* The session began with the comfortable sitting of participants with slow inhalation, filling the lungs for a count of 4-5 seconds and holding the breath for 2-3 seconds.
* In the second step exhale slowly through the mouth, emptying the lungs for a count of 4-5 seconds, and hold the breath for 2-3 seconds.
* The session started with a shorter session (3-5 minutes) and increased gradually as participants built up endurance with a breathing rate of 4-6 breaths per minute.
* The cycle of Senobi exercises was repeated for 5-10 minutes and 2-3 times a day.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Senobi exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Senobi exercise began with the comfortable sitting of participants with slow inhalation, filling the lungs for a count of 4-5 seconds and holding the breath for 2-3 seconds.

Jacobsons Muscular relaxation exercises

* Group B engaged in a Jacobsons Muscular relaxation exercises plan, following the same frequency and duration as the Senobi exercise program-three sessions per week for 8 weeks.
* The session started by tensing the muscles in the toes and then moving up the body tensing and relaxing each muscle group in turn (feet and toes, calves, thighs, hips, lower back, upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, and head) and hold it for 5-7 seconds and released it for 5-7 seconds.
* Repeat the cycle 2-3 times per day with deep breaths between each cycle.
* The session started with a shorter session (3-5 minutes) and increased gradually as participants built up endurance with a breathing rate of 4-6 breaths per minute.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Jacobsons Muscular relaxation exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Jacobsons Muscular relaxation exercises started by tensing the muscles in the toes and then moving up the body tensing and relaxing each muscle group in turn (feet and toes, calves, thighs, hips, lower back, upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, and head) and hold it for 5-7 seconds and released it for 5-7 seconds.
