Breathing exercises for people having lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing exercises done before and after lung cancer surgery can help you recover faster. The exercises are guided over video calls using your smartphone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have lung cancer that is stage IA to IIIB (early to locally advanced).
- You are about to have lung cancer surgery, either open chest (thoracotomy) or keyhole (VATS).
- You have a smartphone and can do video calls.
- You do not have a heart condition that limits your daily activities.
- You are able to follow instructions and have no physical issues that would make it hard to do breathing exercises.

This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (functional inspiratory muscle training) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. If you are between 18 and 80, have completed your lung cancer treatment, and are now in remission, this program may improve your breathing and strength.
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 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 trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
This study tests whether a phone app that guides breathing exercises can help people recover better after lung surgery (lobectomy). It aims to improve breathing strength and overall recovery.
This trial tests a smartphone-guided program of breathing and exercise to help you recover after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It's designed to improve your lung function and overall fitness from home.
