First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tests whether adding mild electrical stimulation to simple breathing exercises can improve breathing, reduce fatigue, and boost quality of life in people with Long COVID. Ten adults aged 18-65 with a Long COVID diagnosis will be split into two groups: one does only breathing exercises, the other adds electrical stimulation to the diaphragm. The treatment lasts three weeks, with two sessions per week.
