Abstract

Background of the study: Asthma, a chronic inflammatory lung disease affecting over 300 million individuals globally, presents significant challenges in management and treatment. Non-pharmacological interventions, including breathing exercises and behavioral therapies, have shown promise in alleviating symptoms and enhancing the quality of life for asthmatic patients.

Methodology: This study investigates the synergistic effects of Buteyko breathing exercises and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) on chest expansion and overall quality of life in asthmatic collegiate individuals. Employing a pre-post experimental design with a cohort of five participants aged 17-23 years, the study assesses the impact of a 12-week intervention combining Buteyko breathing techniques and CBT.  

Result: Chest expansion measurements and quality of life assessments, utilizing inch tape and the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ), respectively, reveal significant improvements in both parameters.

Conclusion: These findings support the efficacy of integrating these non-pharmacological interventions as complementary strategies in asthma management, offering potential benefits in respiratory function and psychological well-being.
