Home exercise before lung nodule surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if doing exercises at home before surgery can help patients with lung nodules recover better. It uses a smartphone app to guide the exercises and aims to improve hand strength and reduce stress after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung nodule and are scheduled for surgery to remove it.
- You are 20 years or older and your doctor says it's safe for you to exercise.
- You have at least one week between now and your surgery date.
- You are willing to join a LINE group, do the exercises, fill out surveys, and come for check-ups.
- You have not been doing regular workouts (2 or more times a week, 30 minutes each) in the past month.
- You can speak Mandarin or Taiwanese and use a smartphone app.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for lung surgery: one where you are awake and breathing on your own without a breathing tube, and the other where you are asleep with a breathing tube. The goal is to see which approach leads to a faster recovery.
This trial tests a 'tubeless' approach to lung surgery, meaning no breathing tube or chest tube is used during or after the procedure. It aims to help patients recover faster after surgery for small lung nodules.
This trial tests a prehabilitation and early home rehabilitation program using a mobile app to help lung cancer patients get stronger before and after surgery. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life.
This trial tests a new way to find and remove small lung nodules using a robot-guided camera to mark the nodule with dye, then a video-assisted surgery to remove it. It may help patients whose nodules are hard to locate during surgery.
This trial tests whether a two-week structured exercise program before surgery helps people with non-small cell lung cancer recover better. You will use your smartphone to track your daily walking time.
This trial tests whether a pre-surgery exercise program can improve your fitness and recovery. If you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for treatment with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before surgery, this study might help you prepare physically.
