This study compares two types of surgical tools used during lung surgery to see if one causes less coughing after the operation. It may help doctors choose the best tool for patients having a small part of their right lung removed.
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.
This trial tests whether giving a gentle, needle-free acupoint stimulation before or after stomach cancer surgery helps speed up recovery. The stimulation uses a small device on the skin, similar to a tens unit, to support recovery after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
This trial explores whether adding electroacupuncture (a gentle needle treatment with mild electric pulses) to standard immunotherapy after lung cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is designed for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who have already had chemotherapy.
This trial tests a gentle, non-needle therapy that stimulates acupoints with mild electrical current to help you recover better after chest surgery. It may reduce pain and speed healing.
This study tests if a non-invasive electrical stimulation on acupoints can help improve sleep in cancer patients around the time of their surgery. It might be an option if you are having surgery and have trouble sleeping.
