Results: Both groups show not significant dissimilarity in the smoking component testing. Also no statistical significant difference was observed between two groups regarding arterial oxygen saturation fall of six minutes walking among both groups. There were significant association of FEV1/FVC between two groups.
Conclusions: It was concluded that there is effect of halotherapy on various parameters which were taken in the study.
