What this phase means
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Neuromuscular Electric Stimulation, or Exercise. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if targeted neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can treat respiratory and peripheral muscle weakness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
They plan to enroll about 45 people at Bandung. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
