Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of chronic conditions characterized by lung parenchymal involvement with different degrees of inflammation and fibrosis resulting in impaired gas exchange and restrictive physiology. The ILDs are associated with a high symptom burden, including dyspnoea (54 to 98% of patients) and a chronic dry cough (59 to 100% of patients). Fatigue and exhaustion may be more bothersome than dyspnoea for some patients. The prognosis, the disease progression, and the response to therapy of IPF subjects are heterogeneous; therefore the ideal moment to initiate a PR program is still unknown and requires further studies. After the briefing, informed consent was taken from all the participants. Methodology: Participants were randomly divided into two groups containing 50 participants in each group. Group A was given diaphragmatic breathing exercises and Group B pursed-lip expiration exercise. Result: For normality distributed data, Mean was compared with respect to T-test (for two groups) and Paired t-test (pre-score and post-score comparison). All statistical tests were seen at a two-tailed level of significance (p ≤0.01 and p≤0.05).Conclusion: In Group B (Plus pursed lips breathing) the distance covered in 6MWT and the value of FEV1 more significantly improved as compared to Diaphragmatic breathing given in Group A. The ratio of FEV1/FVC is significantly improved in Group B as non-significant changes were noticed in Group A.
