Visual Feedback Breathing Training After Lung Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using visual feedback (like watching a screen) during breathing exercises helps lung cancer patients recover better after surgery to remove part of a lung. The goal is to see if this type of guided breathing practice improves how well your lungs work after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer and are scheduled to have a lobectomy (surgery to remove part of your lung)
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are in stable medical condition and able to participate in breathing exercises and tests
- You do not have a history of previous chest wall or thoracic surgery
- You do not have severe heart failure or severe COPD (chronic lung disease) that could affect how your lungs respond to breathing exercises
- You do not have orthopedic (bone/joint) or neurological (nerve/brain) problems that prevent you from walking

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 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 compares two different ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one works better. If you are having lung surgery with a small camera (video-assisted), this study might help improve your recovery.
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.
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 a personalized exercise program for your lungs after lung cancer surgery. It uses a smartphone to guide your recovery and aims to help you heal and breathe better.
