Filter by:This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial. Elderly patients with constipation requiring colonoscopy were randomly divided into four groups: 1. Received both gastrointestinal external stimulation and transcutaneouselectrical acupoint stimulation; 2. Received gastrointestinal external stimulation singly; 3. Received transcutaneouselectrical acupoint stimulation singly; 4. No stimulation was given. All groups received oral administration of polyethylene glycol for intestinal cleansing. Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score was used to assess the quality of intestinal cleanliness , with a total score of 9, and higher scores indicating better intestinal cleanliness, and BBPS≥6 was defined effective.
Pulmonary transplantation aims to increase patient survival and quality of life in relation to functional aspects. It is observed that the decrease in muscle mass and pulmonary changes are some complications that can be found in the post-transplant patient due to immobility. Thus, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) rehabilitation is of paramount importance for the recovery of the individual, both in the functional aspects, and in the minimization in the time of hospitalization.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of NMES on the thickness and strength of the quadriceps femoris muscle, pulmonary function, endothelial function, functional capacity, muscle biochemical markers, arterial blood gas analysis and water balance of patients after lung transplantation through a randomized clinical trial. Patients will be randomized into two groups: EENM group: will receive the application of NMES associated with physiotherapy and control group: who will receive only the physiotherapy protocol of the Hospital of Clinics of Porto Alegre (HCPA) and Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre.
