Inspiratory Muscle Training / Positive Expiratory Pressure (IMT/PEP) Therapy
IMT/PEP therapy was administered using a dual-function device (BİO Breathe, Korea) designed to provide both inspiratory muscle resistance and positive expiratory pressure. Patients performed the therapy for 15 minutes, twice daily, over a 12-week period, in addition to standard pharmacological treatment. Pressure levels were individually adjusted between 5-40 cmH₂O based on patient capacity.
