Effects of Home-Based Breathing Exercises in Subjects With COPD

BACKGROUND: We sought to investigate the effects of home-based
breathing exercises on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle
strength, exercise capacity, dyspnea, and health-related quality
of life in patients with COPD.
METHODS: All randomized, controlled trials involving the use of
home-based breathing exercises as an intervention in patients
with COPD were searched on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science,
EBSCO, CNKI, and Wangfang Data databases from January 1, 2008,
to December 31, 2018. Two researchers independently extracted
data and assessed the quality of the literature that met the
inclusion criteria.
RESULTS: A total of 13 studies were included, with a total of
998 subjects. The intervention methods consisted of
diaphragmatic breathing, yoga breathing, breathing gymnastics,
and singing. Meta-analysis showed that, compared with the
control group, home-based breathing exercises had significant
effects on the percent of predicted FEV1 (mean difference =
3.26, 95% CI 0.52–5.99, P = .02), FEV1/FVC (mean difference =
2.84, 95% CI 1.04–4.64, P = .002), maximum inspiratory pressures
(mean difference = 20.20, 95% CI 11.78–28.61, P < .001), maximum
expiratory pressures (mean difference = 26.35, 95% CI 12.64 to
40.06, P < .001), 6-min walk distance (mean difference = 36.97,
95% CI 25.06–48.89, P < .001), the modified Medical Research
Council dyspnea scale (mean difference= −0.80, 95% CI
−1.06 to −0.55, P < .001), and the St George
Respiratory Questionnaire (mean difference= −8.62, 95% CI
−13.09 to −4.16, P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS: As an alternative method of home-based pulmonary
rehabilitation program, breathing exercises can improve
pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, exercise
capacity, dyspnea, health-related quality of life in patients
with COPD.
We can choose a breathing exerciser like OPUMP as a tool for
home breathing exercises to help us perform breathing exercises
more effectively.
