Abstract :
Yoga, along with breathing exercises, is an
integrated therapy of growing acceptance that can
produce a range of physical, mental, and social benefits.
This review explores the feasibility and outcomes of a
Breathing exercise program on health-related Quality of
life in asthmatic patients. We searched the published
literature on the Google Scholar and PubMed databases
with keywords ‘Breathing exercise’, ‘asthma’,
‘Pranayama’, randomize ‘Yoga’ AND ‘quality of
life’.We could find seven randomized-controlled trials
concerning breath retraining in bronchial “asthma”.
Due to wide variations in applied interventions,
outcomes assessed, and small sample size in most trials,
it was difficult to extract a definite role of breathing
exercises in the management of “asthma”. However, the
outcomes from controlled trials suggest that breath
training might have a role in the remedy and control of
bronchial allergies. Furthermore, studies are needed
with large sample sizes to find the utility of breath
retraining strategies in the management of Bronchial,
“asthma”.
