Implication

Pilot study shows neuromuscular electrical stimulation enhances functional status in ICU-acquired weakness patients, indicating its potential role in recovery.

Key Points

Notable improvements in functional activity were observed after NMES treatment for five consecutive days.
Statistically significant differences were found in FSS-ICU scores with a p-value of less than 0.001, suggesting strong efficacy.
Thirteen out of twenty enrolled patients completed the study, supporting the feasibility of NMES in real-world ICU settings.
These findings highlight the potential for NMES as a treatment for ICU-acquired weakness, although further validation is needed.
