Brief Summary:
The Purpose of the Study This study will be conducted to determine the effect of virtual reality on pulmonary function and anxiety levels in moderate to severe asthmatic patients.
Detailed Description:
Globally, asthma is the 16th cause of years-lived with-disability and the 28th most common source of burden of disease; it accounts for 1 in every 250 deaths. In Egypt, over 6.7% and 26.5% of the general adult and pediatric population, respectively, have asthma. At least 1/3 of the patients with persistent asthma experience symptoms of anxiety/depression. There is a lack of data regarding other asthma subgroups, namely adolescents and those with mild or moderate persistent asthma.
Recently, there has been a global concern for the treatment of asthma through physical therapy and complementary alternative medicine (CAM). Buteyko breathing technique is one of CAM techniques that is becoming more prevalent.
Virtual reality is an emerging new technology that has drawn scientists' attention to its potential impact on rehabilitation. It is a safe and effective medium for supporting stress and anxiety management.
In general, the literature has shown that VR This would enable users to learn over time how to change their physiological activity to enhance health and performance, reduce stress-related symptoms, and increase their well-being.
Up to investigated knowledge, No previous studies conducted to explore the effect of VR on pulmonary function and anxiety in adult patients with moderate to sever bronchial asthma.
HYPOTHESES: It will be hypothesized that there will be no significant effect of Virtual Reality on pulmonary function and anxiety levels in patients with moderate to sever bronchial asthma.
RESERCH QUESTION: Does virtual reality affect pulmonary function and anxiety levels in moderate to severe asthmatic patients?
