Combined Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Diaphragmatic Stimulation With ACBT'S in Copd

TEDS was applied using surface electrodes placed over the diaphragm region. The stimulation protocol was set at 50 Hz frequency, 300 μs pulse width, with 6 seconds of stimulation followed by 5 seconds of rest, daily for 12 weeks. It was combined with ACBT sessions.

ACBT sessions included breathing control, thoracic expansion exercises, and forced expiration techniques (huffing). Sessions were performed daily for 12 weeks to aid in secretion clearance and improve lung function.
