Pulmonary Functions in Sickle Cell Disease: Response to Acu-TENS
Pulmonary Functions in Sickle Cell Disease: Response of Adding Acu-TENS to Inspiratory Muscle Training
Cairo University
40 participants
Dec 15, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
pulmonary complications are common in sickle cell disease patients. Respiratory training using inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) is usually a good choice to improve these complications. Recently, acupuncture like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (AC-tens) may also improve these complications.

Interventions
sickle cell disease patients whose number will be 20 patients will be trained with IMT (threshold inspiratory muscle training) and treated with AC-tens. The number of sessions per week will be three sessions for IMT or AC-tens for 12 weeks. the IMT will be performed for six sets of respiratory training cycles and the set will contain 10 respiratory cycles. Also the session of AC-tens will be 45 minute on bilateral Ex-B1 acupoint. the parameters of AC-tens will be four hertz and 200 microsecond pulse duration.
