Brief Summary

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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common, preventable as well treatable disorder, which is also one of the main reasons of high mortality and morbidity characterized by irreversible airflow limitation and has respiratory system involved. The aim of this study is to evaluate the comparative effects of manual diaphragmatic technique and lateral coastal breathing on COPD patients, that these exercises will have beneficial effects or not on COPD patients. Manual diaphragmatic technique and lateral coastal breathing will increase the functional capacity and relieve the symptoms dyspnea, enhance the chest wall expansion.

Detailed Description

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

This study will be a randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of both techniques on COPD patients and disease severity in patients who falls into the inclusion criteria, who are willing to participate, patients with age limit between 45 to 65 years, GOLD stage II, and patients will be excluded who have cardiac disease, abdominal or thoracic surgeries and in critical condition by taking sample of patients through non probability convenient sampling and randomly allocating them to two groups A and B out of which A will receive manual diaphragmatic techniques, B will receive lateral coastal breathing exercise up to the duration of 2 times a day, 3 days per week for up to 3 weeks. Pre and post exercise outcomes will be assessed. The data will be analyzed through SPSS 26

Study Groups

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

Group A

Manual Diaphragmatic Technique

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Manual Diaphragmatic Technique

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention will be given 3 days per week for up to 6 weeks starting assessment with modified Borg scale questionnaire will be asked from the patient to evaluate the patient's dyspnea level. The patient at first will be asked to do 5-6 diaphragmatic breathing in upright position and then will be asked to breathe with the breather device after complete inhalation the patient will blow hard in the device. The patient will be asked to inhale and then hold for 2-3 second and breathe out through the device with the 3 sets with each set including 8 repetitions same cycle with relaxed diaphragmatic breathing between each set

Group B

Lateral Coastal Breathing Exercises

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lateral Coastal Breathing

Intervention Type OTHER

The group B will be the lateral coastal breathing that will be given 2 times a day, 3 days per week for up to 6 weeks. The patient will be asked by practitioner to perform 4 to 5 times lateral coastal breathing in suitable sitting or lying position
