Long-Term Impact of Diaphragmatic Breathing and Pursed Lip Breathing on Pulmonary Function in Patients with COPD: A Systematic Review

Author(s) Mr. Aditya Zipare

Abstract Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by airflow limitation. Breathing techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing (DB) and pursed lip breathing (PLB) are commonly used to improve pulmonary function in patients with COPD. Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the literature on the long-term impact of DB and PLB on pulmonary function in patients with COPD. Methods: A comprehensive search of major databases was conducted to identify studies that investigated the effects of DB and PLB on pulmonary function in patients with COPD. Studies were included if they reported outcomes on lung function, exercise capacity, or health-related quality of life. Results: This systematic review included 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that long-term practice of DB and PLB can lead to significant improvements in lung function, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life in patients with COPD. Discussion: The findings of this systematic review suggest that breathing exercises are a beneficial adjunctive therapy for patients with COPD. The results are consistent with previous studies that have shown that breathing exercises can improve respiratory function and quality of life in patients with COPD. Conclusion: This systematic review provides evidence that DB and PLB can be effective adjunctive therapies for improving pulmonary function in patients with COPD. The findings of this review can inform the development of pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients with COPD.
