As of 2015, 235–330 million people worldwide are affected by Obstructive Airway Disease, and approximately 250,000–345,000 people die per year from the disease. Although there is no permanent cure for OAD, the disorder can be managed by various complementary and alternative therapies. The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Buteyko Breathing Exercise on Respiratory Outcomes. True Experimental, Pre test Post test Control Group Research Design and Simple Random Sampling technique was adopted. Buteyko Breathing Exercise was demonstrated two times a day for a week for the interventional group alone, and the post test was conducted for both the groups on the seventh day using Modified ACT, CAT and PEFR. The result revealed that the Buteyko Breathing Exercise was significantly effective on Respiratory Outcomes among patients with OAD. The pre test mean and standard deviation of interventional group for Modified ACT was 9.03±1.87, CAT was 32.83±3.29, and PEFR was 47.63±21.12, whereas post test mean and standard deviation of Modified ACT was 21.07±1.5, CAT was 13.83±3.78 and PEFR was 67.40±15.40, whereas the calculated ‘t’value for Modified ACT,CAT and PEFR was 29.71,17.38 and 5.62 respectively and given table value was 2.04, and it states that the provision of Buteyko Breathing Exercise was effective for the patients with Obstructive Airway Diseases.
