About This Trial
pulmonary complications are common in sickle cell disease patients. Respiratory training using inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) is usually a good choice to improve these complications. Recently, acupuncture like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (AC-tens) may also improve these complications.
