Evaluating the Therapeutic Potential of Kinesio Taping vs Mouth Taping in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation of Chronic Bronchial Asthma

According to WHO (World Health Organization), "Quality of life (QoL) is described as an individual's subjective view of their life situation in the context of their culture, values, goals, expectations, standards, and interests.""Health-related quality of IntroductIon"Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways with periods of shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness.An infection or exposure to pollen allergens affects the nasal and respiratory tracts, triggering an atopic and allergic reaction that leads to bronchial spasm, swelling of the bronchial mucosa, excessive secretions, and remodeling of the bronchial wall.The symptoms of asthma are dyspnea, wheezing, and coughing due to narrowing of the trachea in the pulmonary system". 1 Asthma develops primarily at a young age, but may also occur in adulthood.Between 0.6 and 29.5 cases of physician-diagnosed asthma were reported for every 1,000 people annually.Prevalence is on the rise in India. 2,3Numerous cell types and inflammatory mediators are involved in its pathogenesis.Inflammation of the respiratory tract is typically mediated by Th2 lymphocyte cells, and their cytokine secretion results in increased B-cell immunoglobulin E (IgE) generation, mast cell activation, eosinophilia, and leukocytosis. 4It has been determined that many risk factors related to the environment, including exposure to tobacco smoke, airborne pollutants, and occupational risk factors, raise the chance of developing asthma. 5In a genetically vulnerable person, weight gain, anxiety, and atopy may all elevate the chances of developing asthma.
