Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a particular type of irreversible disease that may damage or obstruct airways and make it difficult to breath. This respiratiry condition may lead to shallow breathing.
Breathing exercisers help to manage hyperventilation often seen in COPD patients. To handle respiratory complications patients are advised to practice breathing techniques along with pharmacological management
Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease is a particular type of irreversible disease that may damage or obstruct airways and make it difficult to breath. This respiratory condition may lead to shallow breathing.
Breathing exercises help to manage hyperventilation often seen in copd patients. To handle respiratory complications patients are advised to practice brathing techniques along with pharmacological management.
Total 46 participants are allocated divided into two group. Group A will perform Pilates breathing along with pharmacological management and group B will perform Pursed-lip breathing along with pharmacological management.
Hence objective of study is to compare the effects of pilates breathing techniques along with pharmacological management versus pursed-lip breathing along with pharmacological management on chest expansion, peak expiratory flow rate, dyspnea and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease

| Pilates Breathing Technique along with standard pharmacological management | Procedure | Patients in this group will receive pilates breathing technique along with pharmacological management. A total 3 weeks protocol will be followed in which 2 seesions per week will be supervised by physiotherapist and 5 days at home. Pilates breathing will be performed in sitting or supine position. The patient will place a hand over the Lower Posterior rib Cage and inhale through the nose. While breathing they will actively contract the Transverse Abdominis (TrA) as if preparing for punch or holding in urine and engaging the pelvic floor muscles. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Chest Expansion | Evaluation will be done using inch tape (inches) for Chest Expansion | 03 weeks |
| Peak expiratory flow rate | Evaluation will be done by using Peak flow meter | 03 weeks |
| Dyspnea | Evaluation will be done by using Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) | 03 weeks |

| Pursed-lip breathing along with pharmacological management | Procedure | Patient in this group will receive pursed-lip breathing along with pharmacological management. A total 3 weeks protocol will be followed in which 2 sessions per week will be supervised by physiotherapist and 5 days at home. The patient will sit comfortably with straight back and relaxed shoulders. They will inhale slowly through the nose, with a deep relaxed breath, and then exhale slowly through the pursed lips, as if blowing out a candle. The exhalation should take 2-3 times longer than inhalation. This breathing cycle will be repeated with a focus on slow and relaxed breathing. Pharmacological management: Patient will receive medications as per prescribed by pulmonologist |
