Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  AUM Chanting Based Resonance Breathing  The breathing exercise is a combination of AUM Chanting and Resonance breathing at the rate of 6 cycles per minute. Asthma patients taken as cases will be trained to do this exercise for 20 minutes everyday for 12 weeks. They will continue routine pharmacological care as well 
Comparator Agent  Only routine pharmacological treatment  Asthma patients taken as controls do not do any breathing exercises for 12 weeks. They undergo only routine pharmacological care

Brief Summary  

The rising global burden of asthma, particularly in India, and the increasing evidence of autonomic dysregulation and psychological distress in asthma patients highlight the need for good adjunctive treatment strategies. Breathing techniques such as pranayama and resonance breathing have shown effectiveness in improving asthma symptoms, autonomic balance, and quality of life. AUM chanting, while underexplored in asthma, has demonstrated promising effects on autonomic regulation, stress reduction, and respiratory control in other populations. Combining resonance breathing with AUM chanting may enhance these effects and provide a novel non-pharmacological treatment for asthma. The proposed study aims to investigate the effects of AUM chanting based resonance breathing on quality of life, dysfunctional breathing pattern, autonomic and lung functions in asthmatic adults. Given the growing interest in integrative therapies and the potential of AUM chanting to enhance autonomic flexibility, this study could provide valuable insights into the utility of non-pharmacological interventions in asthma management.
