Primary outcomes
- Breathing Scores Post 15 Minutes — Baseline to 15 minutes
A mean breathing score was calculated at baseline, 30 seconds, 2, 5 and 15 minutes, derived from participant responses to questions relating to breathing i.e. "my breathing feels easy", "I feel airways are open", "I feel a cooling sensation in my throat", "I can feel the air flowing to my lungs easily", "My nose feels less blocked" and "I feel my breathing is comfortable". The breathing scores were rated by the participants on a 5 point (0-4) rating scale with '0' being labeled as 'strongly disagree' and '4' being labeled as 'strongly agree'. For each participant, a mean score was derived by summing the responses and dividing by the number of questions answered.
