Abstract
Background: Asthma, a chronic inflammatory lung condition, often brings symptoms like chest tightness, breathlessness, and wheezing. While treatments exist, this study explored the impact of yoga as a therapeutic intervention for asthma management in India.
Methods: Thirty patients with mild-to-moderate asthma were recruited from AIIMS Rishikesh. They were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (standard treatment plus yoga) or a control group (standard treatment plus placebo exercises). Key measures, including the Asthma Control Test (ACT), Asthma Quality of Life (AQOL), and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), were assessed weekly for three months.
Results: The experimental group showed significant improvements in ACT and AQOL scores (P < .001) compared to the control group. Although PEFR improvements were observed, they were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Combined with standard treatment, yoga offers a promising, cost-effective complementary therapy for asthma patients. The positive response to online yoga also opens doors for broader research and application. Further studies on larger populations are recommended to validate these findings.
Keywords: Asthma, Breathing Exercise, Pranayama, Pulmonary Function, Yoga, Quality of Life.
