Abstract

Aim. To analyze and summarize publications on the use of electrical transcutaneous stimulation of acupuncture points in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and characteristics of the therapeutic effect.

Methods. Review of publications in Russian and foreign electronic libraries for the period from 2000 to 2023, with a selection of original articles and research results published in peer-reviewed journals on the results of the use of non-invasive (transcutaneous) electrical stimulation of acupuncture points in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in randomized research conditions with control groups.

Results. The studies included in the review indicate the effect of using electrical transcutaneous stimulation of acupuncture points on reducing shortness of breath, increasing FEV1, reducing desaturation, and improving exercise tolerance in patients during the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Conclusion. Noninvasive electrical stimulation of acupuncture points may be an effective and safe treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
