Detailed Description
A comparative study to determine the effects of butyeko breathing techniques and Active Cycle of Breathing technique on dyspnea and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. As few researches on Butyeko breathing techniques are still present on COPD most of them are on asthma. The goal of the Butyeko Method is to improve breathing patterns, as indicated by achieving a higher breath hold time (control pause). Every five seconds improvement to the control pause, results in an alleviation of breathing difficulty and improved control of COPD The Butyeko method is a purported method of "retraining" the body's breathing pattern to correct for the presumed chronic hyperventilation and hypocapnea, and thereby treat or cure the body of these medical problems. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often suffer from expectoration. To address this problem, active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) can be applied in patients of COPD. In our study daily Butyeko breathing exercise and active cycle of breathing technique session of 30 to 35 minutes will be given to patients and effects of both techniques will be compared.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted using convenient sampling or randomized sampling technique in population of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Total sample size will be of 40 and two Groups will be made Group A 20 participants received Buyteko breathing technique and Groups B 20 participants received Active cycle of breathing technique. Data will be collected by using Borg's dyspnea scale, St.George Respiratory questionnaire and by pulmonary function testing. Data will be collected from pulmonary ward Jinnah hospital Lahore whole study will take total duration of 10 months and data will be analyzed using latest version of SPSS-25 software.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Borg's dyspnea scale. [4 weeks]
For the measurement of dyspnea The Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale (MBS) is a 0 to 10 rated numerical score used to measure dyspnea as reported by the patient during submaximal exercise and is routinely administered during six-minute walk testing (6MWT
- Spirometry [4 weeks]
Spirometry is the most common of the pulmonary function tests. It measures lung function, specifically the amount and/or speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is helpful in assessing breathing patterns that identify conditions such as asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
