NCT06167811

Brief Summary

Patients with interstitial lung disease present, in addition to respiratory symptoms, peripheral muscle dysfunction, which contributes to functional impairment. The aimof the study is to investigate the safetyof whole-body electrical stimulation in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Patients Will perform two different EECI protocols, with na intervalo fone week between them. First the patients Will be submitted to the evaluation of the autonomic control. After a blood collection and measurement of muscles trength will be performed. The verification of vital signs: BP, SpO2, HR, FR and the perception of dyspnea and fatigue (BORG) Will occur immediately before and after the EECI session. During the protocol, SpO2, HR, RR and BORG Will be checked. After the session, a new blood collection Will be performed and autonomic control and muscle strength Will be reassessed. After 24, 48 and 72 hours, new blood samples Will be collected and muscle pain Will be measured.

Study Arms (2)

whole-body electrical stimulation, Protocol 1

EXPERIMENTAL

A whole body electrical stimulation session. Symmetrical biphasic current will be used, pulse width of 400µs, frequency of 75Hz, contraction time of five seconds, rest time of 10 seconds, for eight minutes, totaling 32 muscle contractions. During the first two minutes of stimulation, the patient will remain in isometry to become familiar with the electrical current. Then with the use of a stick (for proprioception), a series of biceps exercises and a series of triceps exercises, a series of sit-ups and a squat, a series of step ups and downs, and a series of plantings.

Other: whole-body electrical stimulation
