Clinical Trial Summary

Comparison of Jacobson Relaxation Technique and Pranayama Technique in patients with COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that cause obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include Breathing difficulty. cough, mucus production and wheezing. Its typically caused by long term exposure to irritating gasses or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoker. in this study we compare the effect of Jacobson relaxation technique and Pranayama technique on the SOB, Cough, sputum and quality of life in COPD patients.

Data were collected from Gulab Devi Chest Hospital, General Hospital, Jinnah Hospital and Mayo Hospital Lahore. Data were collected by the lottery method. Borg dyspnea scale, Spirometry, CASA-Q and Quality of life questionnaire were used before and after the intervention. Treatment was continuous 4 weeks, 3 times in a week for 15 mint. Assessment was done through the tool before and after the treatment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Dyspnea Severity (Borg Scale)	The Borg scale measures the severity of dyspnea (shortness of breath).; Scale Details: Full Title: Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) ScaleFull Title: Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale Minimum Value: 0 (No breathlessness at all) Maximum Value: 10 (Maximal breathlessness) Interpretation: Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, meaning greater severity of dyspnea.	4 weeks
Primary	Cough and Sputum Analysis (CASA-Q)	The CASA-Q (Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire) evaluates the severity and impact of cough and sputum production.; Scale Details: Full Title: Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire (CASA-Q) Minimum Value: 0 (No symptoms) Maximum Value: 100 (Severe symptoms) Interpretation: Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, meaning more severe symptoms of cough and sputum.	4 Weeks
Primary	Spirometry (FEV1 and FVC)	Spirometry will be used to measure lung function, specifically Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).; Scale Details: Full Title: Spirometry (FEV1 and FVC) Minimum Value: Variable (dependent on patient's lung function) Maximum Value: Variable (dependent on patient's lung function) Interpretation: Higher values typically indicate better lung function.	4 Weeks
Secondary	Quality of Life (SF-36 Questionnaire)	The SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey) questionnaire assesses the overall quality of life.; Scale Details: Full Title: SF-36 Health Survey Minimum Value: 0 (Worst possible health state) Maximum Value: 100 (Best possible health state) Interpretation: Higher scores indicate better quality of life.	4 Weeks
Secondary	Patient Satisfaction (Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire)	The Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire measures the satisfaction of patients with the treatment they received.; Full Title: Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) Minimum Value: 1 (Very dissatisfied) Maximum Value: 5 (Very satisfied) Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.	4 Weeks
