title: [Electrostimulation of the diaphragmatic muscle in bronchial asthma patients].
abstract: A study was made of the effect of transcutaneous diaphragmatic electrostimulation (2 mA, 0.3 ms, 20-30 V) on the external respiratory function in 12 asthmatic patients with respiratory insufficiency. The course comprised 7 daily sessions for 20 min. The improvement in respiratory function parameters was observed in the majority of the patients. The effect of electrostimulation was related to the quantity of the procedures.
