Background: The lung disorder known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reduces airflow, making breathing difficult for sufferers. Common complaints range from dyspnea to chronic coughing to frequent respiratory infections. Treatment generally focuses on symptom control and improvement of lung function by means of medication, oxygen therapy, and rehabilitative activities. Recent years have seen great interest in deep breathing exercises and other respiratory therapies as potential support for patients managing symptoms and improving pulmonary capacity. These workouts aim to increase respiratory muscle strength, reduce breathing effort, and permit more efficient gas exchange, thereby providing potential relief and better disease control for COPD sufferers. Studies have shown that deep breathing exercises—including diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing—have increased oxygen intake, improved ventilation efficiency, and enlarged lung capacity. More study is still required, though, to find how effectively these non-pharmacological COPD treatments improve lung function.
Aim: Our study aimed to evaluate "The Effectiveness of Deep Breathing Techniques in Improving Lung Function in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)".
Conclusion: The results of this study confirm the possible efficiency of deep breathing methods in enhancing lung capacity among COPD sufferers. Patients who include diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing in their regular activities will find better oxygenation and more effective respiratory muscles. These activities help to lower the sensation of dyspnea, encourage relaxation, and maybe lessen the frequency of flare-ups. Deep breathing exercises offer a possible supplemental therapy to conventional COPD therapies since they are a non-invasive and easily available intervention. More study is therefore necessary to fully appreciate the long-term advantages and maximize the training strategies to get the best results for patients. Customizing breathing exercises to fit specific patient requirements together with suitable professional advice could provide a complete method to more successfully control COPD symptoms.
