e.g.) People who have been diagnosed with a neuromuscular junctional diseases such as myasthenia gravis or receiving related treatment.
In the case of implantable electronic medical devices such as pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and spinal cord stimulation devices.
Those who have any history of radiation therapy or chemotherapy for cancer within a year.
People who have a history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease or lung disease within 6 months.
Those who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric/neurological problem or taking related medications that may affect electrophysiological study.
Those who are pregnant or may be pregnant.
Those who are judged to lack the cognitive ability to understand the explanation of the purpose and procedure of this study.

| Diaphragmatic function | ∙ Diaphragm thickening fraction percent: the difference between diaphragm thickness at the end of inspiration (DTi) and at the end of expiration (DTe) divided by DTe × 100 | Baseline |
| Pain during phrenic stimulation | ∙ Numeric rating scale (range: 0~10): This scale ranges from 0 to 10 points, with higher scores indicating more severe pain. | Baseline |
