Cough risk after lung surgery via thoracoscope
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop a cough after having part of a lung removed through small cuts (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help identify who is more likely to have this side effect.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a lung removed or partly removed using a camera through small chest cuts (called VATS).
- You did not have a cough before your surgery (for example, from asthma or certain blood pressure pills).
- Your cancer has not spread to distant parts of your body.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have other major serious illnesses like severe liver or kidney problems, or a current mental health condition.

This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on your skin at specific points (acupoints) can help reduce a dry cough that lasts 2 weeks or more after lung cancer surgery.
This study compares two types of lung surgery for people with lung nodules or lung cancer: one with a breathing tube (standard) and one without (non-intubated). The goal is to see if the non-intubated approach is safer and helps you recover faster.
This study looks at how well your lungs work after surgery for lung cancer. It uses special scans and breathing tests to help doctors better predict your recovery.
This study follows people with stage I lung cancer to see how they do after surgery. It aims to learn what affects recovery and long-term outcomes.
This study tests whether two different anesthesia approaches can reduce coughing after lung cancer surgery done through small incisions (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help you recover with less discomfort if you have a certain type of lung surgery.
This study compares two types of surgical tools used during minimally invasive lung surgery to see which one causes less coughing afterward. You would have a small lung nodule removed and help researchers understand how to reduce post-surgery coughing.
