Sponsor's own description
The combined effects of transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS) and active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBTs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) conducted as a randomized controlled trial at Gulab Devi Hospital, the study involved 50 participants aged 40 to 60 with mild to moderate COPD. Participants were divided into two groups, one receiving both TEDS and ACBT, and the other receiving only ACBT. Over 12 weeks, improvements in lung function, oxygen saturation, exercise capacity, and quality of life were measured using spirometry, pulse oximetry, the 6-minute walk test, and the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire. Both groups showed significant improvement, but the group receiving ACBT alone showed a slightly higher mean rank in some outcomes. The study concludes that while both interventions are beneficial, ACBT alone may offer more consistent improvements. It recommends including respiratory muscle assessments and combining interventions with education and exercise in future research.
