Brief Summary

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

This study was planned to assess effects of Aerobic training with and without Sniff maneuver on Dyspnea, Functional capacity and Quality of life among Asthma Patients. Results showed that when aerobic training done along with the sniff maneuver had proven to be the more effective choice of treatment in reducing severity level of asthma along with the decreased perceived dyspnea and improved quality of life and functional capacity.

Detailed Description

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

This study aimed to check the effects of Aerobic training with and without Sniff maneuver on Dyspnea, Functional capacity and Quality of life among Asthma Patients. This research of randomized clinical trial checked the effects of aerobic training with and without sniff maneuver on dyspnea, functional capacity and quality of life among asthma patient. By taking sample of 28 patients through convenience sampling and randomly allocating them to two group A and B out of which A was received Aerobic training with sniff maneuver and group B was received Aerobic training up to the duration of 3 days per week for 6 weeks. Pre and Post training outcomes of functional capacity was measured through 6 min walk test, dyspnea through Borg rating perceived exertion scale and QOL through 5d euro quality of life questionnaire.

Study Groups

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

Aerobic exercises along with sniff maneuver

Aerobic exercises on a stationary bike or electric treadmill three times a week for six weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aerobic exercise combined with the sniff maneuver technique

Intervention Type OTHER

Aerobic exercises on a stationary bike or electric treadmill three times a week for six week. Five minutes of stretching, concentrated on the main lower limb muscle groups, were followed by a ten-minute warm-up, twenty minutes of training during the first two weeks and thirty minutes during the third to sixth week, and finally, a five-minute cooling-down phase..

Aerobic exercises only

The treadmill was used for both the warm-up and cooling-down phases.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Aerobic exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

The treadmill was used for both the warm-up and cooling-down phases. Heart rate was kept between 40% and 50% of maximum heart rate for these sessions. (5) To achieve a moderate exertion (rated as 11--13 on the Borg scale) and/or a moderate dyspnea (rated as 3---4 on the modified Borg scale), the intensity of the aerobic training was progressively increased.
