This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether two different types of gentle breathing exercises—one called Senobi exercises and another called Jacobson's muscular relaxation exercises—can help improve how well your lungs work and reduce shortness of breath in people with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Researchers want to see which type of exercise program might be more helpful for you, and whether either one improves your sleep quality.
Many people with COPD struggle with breathing difficulties and poor sleep, and medicines alone don't always solve these problems. This trial exists to find out whether simple, structured breathing and relaxation exercises could be an effective way to help manage these symptoms.
You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group would practice Senobi breathing exercises—slow, controlled breathing done while sitting comfortably, starting with 3–5 minutes and gradually building up to 10 minutes, done 2–3 times daily. The other group would practice Jacobson's relaxation exercises following the same schedule. You would do your assigned exercises three times per week for 8 weeks. Before and after the 8 weeks, researchers would test your lung function with a breathing machine, measure your shortness of breath during a 6-minute walk test, and ask you questions about your sleep quality.
