Brain and body training to prevent confusion after lung surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether special physical and brain exercises before and after lung surgery can help older adults (ages 60+) avoid confusion or memory problems. Participants will use a tablet or phone to follow the program.

This trial tests a home-based exercise and health program that uses a wearable device and smartphone app to help older adults prepare for lung cancer surgery. The goal is to improve fitness and recovery before and after your operation.
This study tests whether a thinking and memory exercise program can help prevent confusion or disorientation after surgery (called postoperative delirium). It is for older adults having certain types of surgery under general anesthesia.
This study tests a brain training method called neurofeedback to help older patients avoid confusion or memory problems after major surgery. It may help you recover more clearly after your operation.
This study looks at whether how long you are on one-lung breathing during surgery and the oxygen levels in your brain affect your memory and pain after lung surgery. If you join, you may help doctors find better ways to protect brain function and reduce pain for older patients having lung surgery.
This study tests whether a combination of sleep therapy, brain games, and light exercise before heart surgery can help prevent confusion or disorientation (delirium) after the operation. Participants will be asked to use a tablet and fitness tracker daily for about an hour before their surgery.
This study tests whether a short exercise and health program before lung cancer surgery can help you recover faster. You'll use a smartphone app to follow the program and track your progress.
