Effect of Electrical Diaphragmatic Stimulation on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Sponsor: Mansoura University Hospital
Summary
Respiratory muscle dysfunction is a common consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This technique consists of placing electrodes on the skin at locations near the motor points of the diaphragm, transmitting an intermittent current, and generating action potentials capable of producing muscle contractions
