About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Preoperative Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercises on Postoperative Anxiety and Muscle Strength in Lung Neoplasm Resection Patients

Lung cancer, tracheal and bronchial cancers have long been the leading cause of cancer mortality in Taiwan. According to statistics, about 40% of newly diagnosed lung cancers are treated with surgery as the primary treatment. Although early surgery improves survival rates, most patients experience significant decreases in lung function, and physical function after surgery, which affects their quality of life.

Recent studies have found that preoperative and postoperative lung rehabilitation exercises play an increasingly important role in lung cancer care. In Taiwan, postoperative interventions for lung cancer have shown significant benefits, but there is a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of preoperative rehabilitation programs. To understand the effectiveness of the preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation program, a preoperative home rehabilitation program was designed to compare the efficacy of preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation in the current lung cancer care of patients undergoing lung neoplasm surgery.

Read the detailed description

After confirming that the patient is eligible to participate and the patient signs a consent, basic information and The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) will be completed at the preoperative clinic, and lung function tests, 30-second 30 seconds sit-to-stand test, grip strength test, physical status assessment, and activity level assessment will be performed. A healthcare instruction manual will be given at the preoperative clinic.

The preoperative exercise group (experimental group) and the control group will be assigned randomly. The preoperative exercise experiment group must complete the related exercises and records. The exercises include upper extremity resistance exercise, lower extremity resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, and respiratory muscle training.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Preoperative and postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation exerciseOther

    Besides receiving preoperative thoracic surgery health education manuals and postoperative regular pulmonary rehabilitation exercises, they also receive exercises originally tailored for pulmonary rehabilitation, including upper-body resistance exercise, lower-body resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, and respiratory muscle training for 4-7 days before surgery. In addition, a communication app group will be set up and an exercise diary will be provided.

  • Preoperative education and postoperative exerciseOther

    Receiving preoperative thoracic surgery health education manual and postoperative regular pulmonary rehabilitation exercises

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Anxiety and depression

    The patient's anxiety was assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

    The scale consists of 14 items, with 7 items for anxiety and 7 items for depression. The anxiety items are the odd-numbered questions, and the depression items are the even-numbered questions. Each item is scored on a four-point scale (0-3 points). The scores for the two subscales are calculated separately, each with a total score ranging from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate greater levels of anxiety or depression.

    Measured: at preoperative OPD(baseline), admission, and discharge (through study completion, an average of 3 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Lung function

    Lung function will be assessed using MicroLab Spirometer.

    1. Forced Vital Capacity;FVC (L)、(% predicted)
    2. Forced Expiratory Volume in First Second;FEV1)(L) 、(% predicted)
    3. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate;PERF(L/S)、(% predicted)
    4. FEV1/FVC(%)

    Measured: Through preoperative intervention, rehabilitation exercises for the lungs were performed for up to 6 weeks after surgery until discharge. The time frame includes at baseline (preoperative outpatient department)、at admission and before discharge

  2. Early Activity Level

    ICCA (IntelliSpace Critical Care and Anesthesia) Ranges from 0-10, the higher level indicates better functional activity.

    Measured: Through preoperative intervention, rehabilitation exercises for the lungs were performed until about a month after surgery before discharge.The initial activity level after surgery (through study completion, an average of 3 weeks)

  3. Grip strength

    measured with TTM-YD digital grip strength dynamometer

    Measured: at preoperative OPD(baseline), admission, and discharge (through study completion, an average of 3 weeks)

  4. Lower limb muscle strength

    30 seconds sit and stand test

    Measured: Through preoperative intervention, rehabilitation exercises for the lungs were performed until about a month after surgery before discharge.Time Frame at baseline(preoperative OPD).

  5. Physical condition

    ECOG Performance Status Scale 0 Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction

    1. Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work
    2. Ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities; up and about more than 50% of waking hours
    3. Capable of only limited selfcare; confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours
    4. Completely disabled; cannot carry on any selfcare; totally confined to bed or chair
    5. Dead

    Measured: Through preoperative intervention, rehabilitation exercises for the lungs were performed until about a month after surgery before discharge.Time Frame at baseline(preoperative OPD)、the next day after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Preoperative and postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation exercise and Preoperative education and postoperative exercise in people with Lung Neoplasm, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
