Condition: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) · Sponsor: Ankara University
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation and respiratory symptoms due to airway and/or alveolar deterioration caused by severe exposure to harmful particles or gases and host factors. Exercise intolerance and decreased functional capacity develop as a result of the disorders that occur in COPD. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS), an easy and inexpensive method to increase diaphragm strength as an adjunct to the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program applied in COPD, and to investigate the effect of this method on exercise capacity, diaphragm muscle thickness and symptoms.
