Effects of phrenic nerve magnetic stimulation on respiratory function in stroke patients: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Respiratory dysfunction is a notable complication in stroke patients, in which the diaphragm, as the primary respiratory muscle, directly influences lung function. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) is a new, non-invasive approach that is used to treat brain and nerve problems. Few studies have examined the effect of magnetic stimulation on the phrenic nerve, breathing and diaphragm in stroke patients. This study aims to assess the effect of magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation on respiratory muscle function and lung function in adults with stroke. The results of this study may provide a promising approach to managing respiratory dysfunction in stroke patients.
