Overview

Pilot study finds significant improvements in functional status using NMES in patients with ICU-acquired weakness.

Key Points

  • Patients demonstrated significant improvement in functional activity following five days of NMES therapy.
  • The study showed a statistically significant increase in FSS-ICU scores with a P-value of less than 0.001.
  • This pilot study utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design in twenty patients experiencing ICU-acquired weakness.
  • Results suggest NMES may be an effective treatment for ICU-acquired weakness, warranting further investigation.
