Breathing muscle training before lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if doing breathing exercises before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. You will use a smartphone to get instructions and do the exercises at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer (stage IA to IIIB).
- You are scheduled for lung cancer surgery (either open or with a camera).

- Your heart condition does not affect your daily life (classified as ASA II or less).
- You do not have severe memory, thinking, or mental health problems.
- You don't have serious vision, hearing, or movement problems that would prevent doing the 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 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 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 whether training your breathing muscles before lung surgery can reduce lung problems after surgery in people with stage I to IIIb lung cancer. It may help improve breathing and lower the chance of post-surgery lung complications.
This study tests whether using a mobile app to guide breathing-muscle exercises helps people recover better after lung cancer surgery (lobectomy). It might improve your strength and breathing.
This study tests a smartphone app that guides breathing exercises and activity after lung cancer surgery. It aims to help your lungs recover faster and improve your ability to breathe and exercise after the operation.
