Shock therapy for better breathing after Weight-Loss surgery?
NCT ID NCT07569705
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if a mild electrical patch placed on the skin (called TENS) can prevent breathing problems after weight-loss surgery in people with severe obesity. About 70 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either TENS or a fake device. The main goal is to see if TENS helps the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) work better right after surgery.
