Abstract :

BACKGROUND Asthma is reversible airway obstruction and onchial hyper responsiveness to stimuli such as allergens, viruses air pollutants, exercise and cold air. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of tracheoonchial airways. Bronchial asthma is one of the most frequent chronic inflammatory disorder of airways and constitute a major social problem. AIMS–A PEFR (Peak expiratory flow rate) Study to access the effectiveness of pranayama on patients with onchial asthma. OBJECTIVES 1.To determine the effect of all eathing exercise(Anuloma–viloma,Bhramri,Kapalbhati,Bhastrika,Bhaya) in Bronchial asthma Patients. 2.To compare the PEFR in Control group(WithoutPranayama)and study group (practising pranayama) in Bronchial asthma patients after 6 months. MATERIAL& METHOD Study group–PEFR was measured in diagnosed 80 ( 40 male and 40 female )onchial asthma patients of aged 30–50 years. That we divide into two subgroup.One is control group in that patients taking only drugs not doing any type of pranayama and another group study group in which patients taking drugs and practicing pranayama. Mini Wright Peak Flow Meter was Used to Record PEFR. Result–The Result of PEFR(Peak Expiratory Flow Rate) Before& After six month of all eathing exercise were compared & it was statistically significant improvement.for PEFR (p value<0.01). It was concluded From the study that the Pranayam (eathing exercise) is beneficial in long term.
