Study Overview: This research aims to explore how two different breathing techniques, the Papworth Technique and Pranayama, can help people with asthma. Asthma causes breathing problems like wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing. The techniques may help improve breathing by changing patterns and reducing stress.
Study Details: Participants will be divided into two groups. Group A will practice the Papworth Technique, and Group B will practice Pranayama. Each group will attend 12 sessions over four weeks. The study will last for 7 months, and participants will complete questionnaires about breathing difficulties, tiredness, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. A pulse oximeter will be used to measure oxygen levels.
Key Points:- The study requires a 4-week commitment, with 3 sessions per week.
- Participants should be between 20-40 years old, with mild to moderate asthma.
- People with severe asthma or other serious health issues cannot join.
If you fit the criteria and are interested, this study could offer insight into how breathing techniques might help manage asthma symptoms.
