PERFORM (Personalised Exercise-Rehabilitation For people with Multiple long-term conditions (multimorbidity) trial<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The PERFORM trial co-developed (with patients, caregivers, clinicians, and service commissioners) a bespoke programme of personalised exercise-based rehabilitation for people with multimorbidity and to evaluate its acceptability, clinical effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of its implementation into the NHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cognitive Muscular Therapy (CMT) for people with asthma<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Asthma is a condition which results in breathlessness because the tubes to the lungs become narrowed and swollen. Current NHS guidelines for asthma recommend the use of drugs which are designed to open-up narrowed airways. However, research has shown that 1\/3 of people with asthma may experience breathlessness because of the way they use the muscles which control breathing. If this is the case, then it is important to provide breathing retraining to people with asthma who experience breathlessness, despite taking asthma medication.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is some scientific evidence that breathing exercises can reduce breathlessness in people with asthma. However, current exercises only reduce breathlessness by a small amount. We suggest that this is because these treatments do not teach people to change postural muscle patterns which can make breathing more difficult and because patients don\u2019t always understand how to improve their breathing. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have developed a new physiotherapy treatment for joint pain which teaches patients to reduce tension in postural muscles. We have also developed computer software which uses small cameras to track body movements and uses this information to show breathing patterns on a videogame character as a patient breathes. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aim of the research:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will create a version of our treatment, called \u201cCognitive Muscular Therapy (CMT)\u201d, for people with asthma. This treatment will include software to show a patient their breathing pattern on a computer screen as they breath. Once developed, we will test the treatment on 20 participants. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
