How effective is NMES in reducing dyspnea in COPD patients?

In 2014, a study led by Paulo J.C. Vieira and colleagues has revealed promising benefits of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The research, which explored the effects of NMES on muscle performance and exercise tolerance, also broke new ground by examining its impact on dynamic hyperinflation (DH), a condition often observed in COPD patients. The study involved 20 … Continue reading How effective is NMES in reducing dyspnea in COPD patients?

Unlocking the potential: How does early pulmonary rehabilitation impact acute COPD recovery?

In 1998, Nava, et. al., conducted study about Pulmonary rehabilitation which has proven effective for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but its impact on those recovering from acute respiratory failure remains less explored. In this prospective, randomized study, we investigated the physiological effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on COPD patients recuperating from such critical episodes in a Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU). Eighty COPD … Continue reading Unlocking the potential: How does early pulmonary rehabilitation impact acute COPD recovery?
