  Purpose

The aims of this study are:1.To evaluate the utility of quadriceps RMNMS (repetitive magnetic neuromuscular stimulation) in the evolution of COPD patients after hospital admission for acute exacerbation.2 To evaluate the time schedule of recovery changes in muscle parameters ,exercise capacity and quality of life after acute exacerbation. 3.To test the use of this new method of training in acute clinical situations. Patients: COPD patients admitted to the Hospital with acute exacerbation. Group 1: RMNMS Treatment .Group 2 : sham RMNMS treatment. Randomized assignment by minimization method. PROTOCOL Training Group: 10 days after discharge and during 8 weeks, 2-3 days/week.

Measures: Spirometry, Plethysmography ,Diffusion Test. Main outcomes: Exercise test (Six minutes walking distance). Muscle function: MVC. Health related quality of life.

Further study details as provided by Hospital de Cruces:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Six minute walking distance [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    One week after hospital release patients are evaluated and initiate treatment with intense magnetic stimulation or placebo. Measurements are repeated after 3 months.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • quality of life CRQ [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    One week after hospital release patients are evaluated and initiate treatment with intense magnetic stimulation or placebo. Measurements are repeated after 3 months.

  • Maximal voluntary contraction of the quadriceps [ Time Frame: three months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    One week after hospital release patients are evaluated and initiate treatment with intense magnetic stimulation or placebo. Measurements are repeated after 3 months.


Estimated Enrollment: 32
Study Start Date: January 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: July 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: repetitive neuromuscular stimulation
repetitive neuromuscular stimulation of the quadriceps arm are patients actively stimulated at increasing intensity to afford maximal contraction during training sessions
Device: Repetitive magnetic stimulation of the quadriceps muscle

During 8 weeks, 7-10 days after hospital release, patients will receive repetitive magnetic stimulation sessions, 15 minutes on each thigh, alternatively two and three days /week.

Coil location: centered on the union between upper and lower two thirds of the vastus lateralis.

Stimulation bursts at 10-7 HZ lasting 2 seconds, followed by 4 seconds rest. Intensity will be from 40 to 70% of maximal output, adjusting frequency so that the coil does not overheat, (more than 41ºC).

Coils are cooled down to 5ºC before sessions.

Other Names:
  • MEDTRONIC Magpro MCF125
  • Refrigerated 60mm circular coil.
