| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Objective Outcome Parameters: 1. The efficacy of the NPT regimen will be evaluated based on various objective measures, including vital signs such as blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2), as well as findings from chest examinations. 2. Pulmonary function tests, including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC ratio. We will assess lung functions using spirometry. 3. Laboratory investigations will monitor changes in complete blood count (CBC), liver function tests (LFT), kidney function tests (KFT), serum electrolyte levels, random blood sugar (RBS), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), vitamin D levels, D-dimer, and lipid profile. In addition, the occurrence of respiratory infection will be evaluated to assess the impact of the intervention.Timepoint: 12 weeks objective Outcome Parameters | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Subjective Outcome Parameters 1. Subjective outcomes will focus on the patients perception of their COPD symptoms and overall well-being. 2. Dyspnoea severity will be assessed using the Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnoea Scale. Health related quality of life will be measured using the St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT).Timepoint: 12 wks;3. Mental health status will be evaluated using the WHO (Five) Well Being Index, while sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). These subjective measures will provide insights into the impact of the NPT regimen on symptom burden, functional status, mental health, and sleep disturbances experienced by COPD patients.Timepoint: 12 weeks | — |
