Objective： To observe the effect of breathing and Daoyin exercises on the quality of life in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（COPD） due to deficiency of the lung and kidney（grade II-III）...Objective： To observe the effect of breathing and Daoyin exercises on the quality of life in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（COPD） due to deficiency of the lung and kidney（grade II-III）.Methods： A total of 60 eligible cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group（n=30） and a control group（n=30） by random number table. Cases in the control group received routine Western medical treatment, whereas cases in the treatment group conducted breathing and Daoyin exercises in addition to routine Western medical treatment. Patients in both groups were treated for a total of 3 months. Then the observation was made on changes in pulmonary ventilation function, major clinical symptoms, modified Medical Research Council scale（m MRC）, distance in 6-minute walk test（6-MWT）, COPD assessment test（CAT） and efficacy satisfaction questionnaire for COPD（ESQ-COPD） before and after treatment. Results： After treatment, the total effective rate was 80.0% in the treatment group, versus 66.7% in the control group, showing a statistical difference（P〈0.05）. Patients in the treatment group obtained more significant improvement in coughing, sputum production, dyspnea and shortness of breath than those in the control group（P〈0.05）. Patients in the treatment group obtained more significant elevation in the forced expiratory volume in 1 second percentage of predicted value（FEV1%） and peak expiratory flow rate（PEF%） than those in the control group（P〈0.05）. Patients in the treatment group obtained lower m MRC score than those in the control group（P〈0.05）. Patients in the treatment group obtained longer 6-MWT distance than those in the control group（P〈0.05）. Patients in the treatment group obtained lower CAT score（P〈0.01） and higher ESQ-COPD score（P〈0.05） than those in the control group. Conclusion： Breathing and Daoyin exercises combined with routine Western medical treatment are effective for stable COPD（grade II-III） due to deficiency of the lung and kidney and can improve the patients＇ quality of life.展开更多
