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 program that helps you exercise and get ready before lung surgery, and continues with recovery exercises at home after surgery. It aims to improve your strength, recovery, and overall well-being.
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 study tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery helps patients recover faster and have fewer complications. It is for patients who are scheduled for lung surgery and are not already in an exercise program.
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.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (functional inspiratory muscle training) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. If you are between 18 and 80, have completed your lung cancer treatment, and are now in remission, this program may improve your breathing and strength.
This trial tests whether doing exercise training before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. It is for people with low fitness levels who live with another adult at home.
