Study of lung rehab before and after lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a hospital rehab program to see if it helps people recover better after lung surgery. It may help if you have trouble breathing or have limited lung function before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 20 years old
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove part of a lung
- You have one or more of these before surgery: walking distance under 500 meters, oxygen levels drop during a walking test, or certain lung function tests show reduced breathing
- You can walk on your own without a cane or walker
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation therapy in the last 6 months
- You have not done a lung rehab program in the last 6 months
- You have not had lung surgery before

This study tests a home-based rehabilitation program using wearable monitors to help you recover after two surgeries to remove lung cancer. The program tracks your activity and guides your recovery between and after the surgeries, aiming to improve your strength and breathing.
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 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 study compares how well patients recover their heart and lung fitness after two types of lung surgery: removing a whole lobe versus removing a smaller part of the lung. It may help doctors understand which surgery leads to better recovery.
This trial looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
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.
