简要总结
Early pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended after an episode of severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its implementation is challenging particularly as regard exercise training. Several studies showed that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) could improve dyspnea and pulmonary function. The aim of this study is to assess the acute effect of TENS on exercise tolerance in post-exacerbation COPD patients
