Shock therapy for lungs? tiny TENS trial fizzles out

NCT ID NCT03548870

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (TENS) placed on the skin could help people with COPD exercise longer after a serious flare-up. The plan was to compare exercise time with and without TENS in a small group of patients. However, the study was stopped early and only 2 people took part, so no reliable conclusions can be drawn.
