Abstract

Context: Asthma is a persistent respiratory condition that affects individuals across all age groups. It results from airway inflammation and muscle constriction, leading to difficulties in breathing. Buteyko breathing technique and pranayama technique offer numerous advantages by enhancing breath awareness, promoting nostril breathing, and reducing over breathing. Aim: This research aimed to compare between the effect of Buteyko Breathing technique and Pranayama technique on asthma control among asthmatic Patients. Design: A quasi-experimental research design (pre/post-test) was utilized to study a purposive sample of 60 adult patients with history of bronchial asthma. Setting: This study conducted in chest department at Benha University Hospital, Qualubyia Governorate, Egypt. Tools: Four assessment tools were utilized, I: Structured Interview Questionnaire, II: Bronchial asthma severity scale, III: Bronchial asthma control scale and IV: St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Results: Showed a highly statistically significant difference in bronchial asthma severity between the patients in the Paranayama and Buteyko groups, post program implementation with a p-value of 0.000.  There was a highly statistically significant difference between mean score among studied patients of Buteyko and Pranayama groups in terms of controlling bronchial asthma after program implementation, specifically in relation to daytime asthma symptoms, with a statistically significant P-value of 0.000.
