    Details

    Researchers will combine threshold pressure load respiratory muscle training and transcranial iTBS and compare them with single treatments to see if the combined treatment is superior to single treatment. Participants will: * Undergo threshold pressure load respiratory muscle training or transcranial iTBS treatment or a combination of both daily for 4 weeks. * Visit the hospital for check-ups and tests every 2 weeks. * Record their symptoms and respiratory function.
