Brief Summary:
The study aims to evaluate the effects of Buteyko breathing techniques with and without chest wall mobilization on pulmonary functions and quality of life in chronic smokers The study design will be a randomized clinical trial The study will be completed in 10 months after the approval of the synopsis from the Ethical Committee of RCRS AHS A non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to recruit the individuals Group 1-Buteyko breathing technique Chest Wall Mobilization and Group 2-Buteyko Breathing Technique Without Chest Wall Mobilization
Detailed Description:
This randomized clinical trial will evaluate the combined effect of the Buteyko breathing technique and chest wall mobilization on pulmonary functions and quality of life in chronic smokers A sample size of 40 is calculated through a non-probability convenient sampling technique Participants will be recruited into Group 1 and Group 2 by lottery method without replacement Group 1 will be engaged in the Buteyko breathing technique Chest Wall Mobilization and Group 2 will undergo Buteyko Breathing Technique Without Chest Wall Mobilization Pre and post-outcome measures of pulmonary functions will be measured through a digital spirometer and quality of life will be assessed by the St George Quality of Life Questionnaire
Spirometry assesses the amount and speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled Key measurements include Forced Vital Capacity FVC The maximum volume of air forcefully exhaled after a full inhalation Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second FEV1 The volume of air exhaled in the first second of the FVC test indicates how quickly the lungs can be emptied
St Saint Georg quality of life questionnaire for assessing the QOL The SGRQ is a standardized self-administered airway disease-specific questionnaire divided into 2 subscales a total of 12 questions For each subscale and the overall questionnaire scores range from zero no impairment to 100 maximum impairment
