Intensive rehab after lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a more intensive exercise program after keyhole surgery for lung cancer helps you recover faster. It involves cycling on a stationary bike while supervised by a physiotherapist.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have or might have lung cancer and need surgery.
- You are having keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery to remove part of your lung.
- You are able to stand up from a chair without help.
- You do not have a blood clot in your leg, an amputated leg, or a leg or back problem that stops you from bending or sitting on a bike.
- You do not have severe skin problems that make sitting on a bike uncomfortable.

This trial tests a prehabilitation and early home rehabilitation program using a mobile app to help lung cancer patients get stronger before and after surgery. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life.
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
This trial studies a low-time, high-intensity interval exercise program in people with non-small cell lung cancer who are stable and in remission after surgery. It may help improve fitness and recovery without requiring long exercise sessions.
This trial tests a prehabilitation (pre-surgery exercise and education) program to help patients with lung cancer get stronger before lung removal surgery. It aims to improve recovery and outcomes.
This study tests a mobile app designed to help you with breathing exercises and recovery after lung cancer surgery. If you are scheduled for surgery, the app may make it easier to follow your rehab program at home.
This trial tests a short, intensive exercise program (pulmonary rehab) before lung cancer surgery. It also helps people quit smoking during the program. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery after surgery.
