“…[16] We hypothesized that LCE will be effective, via respiratory meditation, in emotionally stabilizing patients as well as relieving symptoms by increasing diaphragmatic elevation and force, ventilation efficiency, thoracic movements, and sputum discharge. [17][18][19][20][21][22] This clinical trial was intended to determine the effects of LCE as a self-therapy and we anticipate that LCE is suitable for daily selftreatment, especially for older patients who have limitations with hospital visits. We used the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and several questionnaires as measured variables to evaluate exercise performance, symptoms, and quality of life.…”

The effect of lung-conduction exercise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a management modality that improves the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, PR is not readily accessible. Therefore, we developed lung-conduction exercises (LCE) that can be performed easily without any limitations. The purpose of this randomized, assessor-blind, multicenter pilot trial was to compare the effects of LCE with PR and standard care (SC) in COPD patients. Methods: Twenty-five participants who met the eligibility criteria were randomly allocated to the SC group (only medication, n = 9), LCE group (medication + LCE, 5 times a week, n = 8), or PR group (medication + PR, 5 times a week, n = 8). The 6-minute walk distance (6WMD), pulmonary function test, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale, COPD assessment test (CAT), and St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) survey were carried out before starting the trial and after 4 and 8 weeks to determine motor performance, lung function, and dyspnea. Results: After 8 weeks, the pulmonary function test scores were the same. The 6MWD (PR, 28.3 ± 38.5; LCE, 14.5 ± 53.1; SC, 11.5 ± 20.5; P = .984), modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (PR, 0.8 ± 1.0; LCE, 0.8 ± 0.8; SC, 0.3 ± 0.5; P = .772), CAT (PR, 7.3 ± 6.2; LCE, 4.2 ± 5.2; SC, 1.0 ± 2.2; P = .232), and SGRQ scores (PR, 11.5 ± 15.4; LCE, 5.5 ± 13.1; SC, 4.8 ± 5.1; P = .358 [PR vs LCE], P = .795 [PR vs SC]) had improved in order of PR, LCE, and SC group. Although there were no statistically significant differences in the outcome measures between the groups, there were clinically significant improvements in the CAT and SGRQ scores. Conclusions: In this trial, PR showed more improvement in symptoms and quality of life than SC alone. To seek a more precise use of LCE, further full-sized studies with a long duration and additional outcome measures such as psychological assessment tools and cost-effectiveness ratio should be conducted. Trial registration: KCT0004724.

The effect of lung-conduction exercise in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible disease characterized by cough, sputum production, and dyspnea, and has a high prevalence and mortality. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a management that improves the quality of life for COPD patients; however, PR is not readily accessible. Therefore, we developed lung-conduction exercises (LCE) that can be performed without any limitations. LCE consists of breathing, stretching, and tapping to relieve dyspnea in COPD patients. Methods/design: This randomized, assessor-blind, multicenter trial aims to recruit 54 patients with moderate and severe COPD. Subjects will be randomly allocated to a control group (only medication), an LCE group (medication + LCE, 5 times a week), or a PR group (medication + PR, 5 times a week). The 6-minute walk distance, pulmonary function tests (forced expiratory volume at 1 second, forced vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume at 1 second/forced vital capacity), modified Borg scale, modified medical research council dyspnea scale, COPD assessment test, and St. George respiratory questionnaire will be measured before starting the trial and after the 4th and 8th weeks to determine motor performance, lung function, and dyspnea. Conclusion: We aim to demonstrate that LCE is effective in improving symptoms and psychosomatic stability in COPD patients. Therefore, this trial will play an important role in fortifying the foundation of clinical application.

BackgroundMemory is an important part of the mental activity. Chattering teeth training practiced in Korean Medicine (known as gochi in Korean), which is a practice of making a sound by touching the upper and the lower teeth, has been accepted as a modality for the dental health. The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of a specially designed intraoral appliance, the No-Sick Exerciser, on working memory improvement in healthy participants.MethodsThirty healthy participants aged between 16 and 30 years will be recruited and randomized into sequence A and B of 15 each, as in a cross-over design (sequence A: chattering teeth training oral appliance)-chewing the gum; sequence B: chewing the gum—chattering teeth training oral appliance with a washout period of one week. The primary outcome will be assessed by the digit span test and secondary outcomes by the symbol digit modality test and the word list recall, which will be conducted before and after each intervention, four times on each participant.DiscussionThis protocol proposes the rationale and method for the use of an intraoral appliance for working memory improvement. If the oral appliance demonstrates better feasibility for working memory improvement compared with chewing gum, a large scale study will be needed to investigate the effectiveness of the device on populations who require memory improvement.
