Breathing Exercises to Help Lung Cancer Patients During Chemotherapy
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether guided breathing exercises can help lung cancer patients feel less short of breath and improve their quality of life while receiving chemotherapy. Researchers will teach you mindfulness-based breathing techniques and measure how they affect your symptoms and well-being.
