AI-Summary
What this Trial Is About
Transcutaneous electrical phrenic nerve stimulation (TEPNS) and transcutaneous electrical diaphragm stimulation (TEDS) are modalities that use surface electrodes placed on the patients' skin to generate action potentials and contractions of the muscle fibers of the diaphragm. The primary objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of TEPNS and TEDS in healthy adult individuals. Secondary objectives will be to assess the feasibility, safety, and level of discomfort reported by the individual resulting from the application of TEPNS and TEDS.
