Summary

Asthma is a lung disease that is characterized by airway obstruction that is reversible either spontaneously or with treatment, airway inflammation, and increase airway responsiveness to a variety of stimuli. A wide variety of pharmacological interventions are available nowadays. Apart from that, different Physical therapy techniques increase cardiorespiratory fitness and inspiratory pressure and limit symptoms and restrict medication use. Physical therapy techniques that can be beneficial for an asthmatic patient include Breathing exercises (BE), Inspiratory muscle training (IMT), physical therapy training (PhT), and airway clearance (AC). Laura Mitchell's Relaxation technique and Papworth exercise are advised as an effective nonpharmacological intervention leading to the improvement of symptoms in asthmatic patients. In this study the effects of Laura Mitchell's relaxation technique and Papworth exercise on dyspnea, fatigue, and sleep quality in asthmatic patients will be compared. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Laeeque Rafiq Hospital, Lar. Convenient sampling technique will be applied on-patients according to the inclusion criteria. Patients will be allocated through simple random sampling into group A & group B. Group A will be treated with Laura Mitchell's Relaxation technique and Group B will be treated with Papworth exercise. Treatment evaluation will be done after 2 weeks of intervention through Pulse Oximeter, Asthma fatigue scale, Dyspnea 12 scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.
