Abstract

[...]peak flow meter, a tool for ongoing monitoring, is used to measure PEFR, as it is simple and reproducible. According to Tables 4 and 5, no statistically significant difference was observed in the control as well as in the study group DISCUSSION In the study group, according to Table 2, there was a significant improvement in all the respiratory parameters after 6 weeks of mudra practice (<0.001). [...]the different finger movements depending on the type of mudra performed bring the particular response. [...]the patients chosen for this study were not under acute exacerbation and not on routine drug therapy.
