Sponsor's own description

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pulmonary rehabilitation effectively improves outcomes in patients with chronic respiratory disease. There is a link between training intensity and physiological improvements following pulmonary rehabilitation. However, high intensity training is not sustainable for every patients. Therefore, actual strategies for pulmonary rehabilitation aimed at decreasing dyspnea to improve muscle work. Electrical muscle stimulation is widely used during rehabilitation to promote muscle function recovery. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was recently used to relief dyspnea and improve pulmonary function in patients with chronic respiratory disease. Moreover, spinal anesthesia with fentanyl has been shown to be effective in improving exercise tolerance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (inhibiting group III and IV muscle afferents). As transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation stimulates the same receptors in the spinal cord dorsal horn as fentanyl, it is hypothesized that it could also improve exercise capacity. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess wether transcutaneous electrical stimulation (high or low frequency) is effective in improving exercise capacity in patients with severe to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
