Home exercises before lung surgery to improve recovery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether guided exercises done at home before lung surgery can help you keep more strength in your hands and feel less anxious before your operation. If you qualify, you'll get support through your phone while you practice simple exercises.
