About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease focused on measuring Pranayama, COPD, Dyspnea, Exercise tolerance
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Both gender of age group 30 to 55 Patient with diagnosed COPD. Moderate to severe COPD. Patient with productive cough and SOB. No surgical procedure perform. Exclusion Criteria: Patient of lung surgery Lung cancer patient Patient above 70 years age. Patient with open wound. Patient with cardiovascular issues

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Arm Type
Experimental
Active Comparator
Arm Label
Pranayma Breathing Technique
Conventional Treatment
Arm Description
Pranayma Breathing Technique protocol includes 15 breaths in the morning and 15 breaths in evening for atleast weeks.
Long-acting beta-2 agonist, nebulizers and long acting anti-mucosic drugs.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
6 min walk test.
The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
IPAQ- quality of life
The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to evaluate the current physical activity level of the participants.
VSAQ-exercise capacity
The VSAQ, capturing patient-reported outcome measures, is an efficient and quantifiable measure of exercise capacity that can be readily employed in clinical services particularly where patients have normal to high exercise tolerance

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
It will be randomized controlled trial. The research will be conducted at Bahawal Victoria hospital Bahawalpur and civil hospital Bahawalpur. We take 60 patients (Epitool), Patients will be allocated randomly in two groups. Group A will get conventional medical treatment and Group B will get both conventional medical treatment and pranayama breathing exercise. Both gender of age group 30 to 55, Patient with diagnosed Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ,Moderate to severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with productive cough, Shortness of breathe and no surgical procedure performed will be included in this study. And patients of lung surgery, lung cancer, above 70 years age, with open wound, cardiovascular issues, and neurological issues will be excluded. Yoga exercise pranayama, 6 min walk test, IPAQ- quality of life and VSAQ-exercise capacity will be used as tools. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 21.
